Yeah, exactly.

people seem to forget this every day

There won't be a monoculture. What are you crying about? Go make your app, just don't expect us to agree with every design choice or to think you're being reasonable when you don't address people's legitimate points. You sound like a pragmatist who believes in the false theory-practice dichotomy, and believes that you have to sacrifice principles to reach the majority, and that's not the kind of person I want to associate with. That's entirely distinct from wanting to make things that help onboard normies. But you don't seem to be able to fathom the difference, and what's more, you take offense to anyone disagreeing with you. It is a slave mentality. So can it. Create what you think the world needs but do so by YOUR judgement. Stop giving a fuck what we think.

What are you even talking about

Instant t-shirt! 💪

word count needed filler, ty, will use it as lorem ipsum

This is how Nostr chews at centralized network effects.

I'm talking about the impression I get from what I have seen in the discussions surrounding Wisp, where you seemed confused that any of your users would be displeased at the idea of you eliminating Amber support from it or adding a bunch of features they don't want, but gave no reason for why to remove it, only reasons for the other things (trying to reach more people, ease of use, options - which did make sense for adding the features). The way you handled the discussion made me think, ok you want to pivot to focus on appealing to certain people, that's cool, but you were surprised that current users are displeased even though you could keep Amber support, and as far as I saw you did not even address that question. That's a bit unreasonable. And you still are pretending that all the criticism is about users wanting to gatekeep nostr, which is a strawman and betrays your myopic view of this. I am merely pointing it out.

I might be out of the loop on it, so apologies if this is a misread of the situation.

I think this is a significant misread. Obviously I knew people would get mad, and I would keep it if it was easy and no problem. But it's not easy, it affects the way the entire app works, is a serious source of bugs. Of course everyone who doesn't build anything thinks it's easy and I'm just being an asshole but they never offer to fork or build it and maintain it themselves. This note above has nothing to do with wisp btw which is the only thing that is surprising me
