Certainly it is early and interesting, as you said. As mentioned, I'm posing questions for the philosophically interested. I don't presume my voice counts for that much, but I figure that those with actual clout - investors or developers - reading, it might be worth the effort to step back and reflect on where the protocol is headed with respect to the perceived values and ideologies associated with it. In the name of truth seeking. I do love Nostr, and I agree with your point about withholding judgement until the rubber hits the road, so to speak. There was, if you can believe it, a more vitriolic version of this post that got heavily pared down to the version you are reading. In truth, I'm in the process of learning to manage my expectations for whats still a wee burgeoning bairn. Hopefully others can relate to this.
