Hehe "a few years" = the entire history of this protocol, so your opinion is as valid as mine bub. 😄 But still, I have to say it's the "other stuff" in "Notes and other stuff" to which I'm referring. The "twitter-like" part of Nostr, I.e. kind 1, is really only scratching the surface. You extend out from that to Longforms, which could in principle replace Substack/Medium, Reddit- or Discord- type private forums (don't know Kind # but that's out there). The "twitter" part is simply the most developed, but I don't see anything awkward or "bolted on" about the other stuff... Would be a different story perhaps if we were talking about ATProto.... If anything can be said to be "optimized" about Nostr, IMHO it isn't the "public consumption" but rather the relay redundancy. Where this perhaps loses to other models is in the requirement for low-latency, I.e. voice or video, but that's not necessarily important for "dissident communication."
