true. if the company didn't go down this path, the advertisers would leave. if they left, the business crashes and the hedge funds come in. the only path forward was a protocol that we didn't own or control, or going private. going private however does not address the long term problem, as there is still a single owner, no matter how great their intention (and I know Elon's intentions are great).

I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this act...

I believe that a number of excellent companies will emerge based on Nostr in the future, perhaps not just in the social field. A large amount of open user data sharing can inspire a lot of innovation. Elon has done very well so far, at least he has withstood a lot of pressure. He has a tendency to maintain the values ​​​​that he identifies with even if X goes bankrupt, FYS advertisers. I respect him very much for that.

I think you did what all you could do and how “they”made it look like you were the one pulling the strings was to take the spotlight off of them , the ones who were behind it all along. Bless you @jack for believing in the ideas that come from love instead of hate and for fighting for those ideas to be reality.
