Part of being sovereign is having the skills and knowledge to take care of yourself. If you don't develop those, then you'll always be dependent on The Platform, and just jump around from platform to platform whenever they rug pull you.

Not so sovereign then. Freedom comes with that responsibility. The choice is yours ... as Gigi replied. Over time you will like it once you dig into it, because freedom clears you up from within.

You're not using nostr for free, you're being subsidized by charitable people.

I'm in favor of 2, I'm not quite ready for 3, but will get there one day. Question now is, which relays to support and who to pay?
