No. Nostr is for everybody, we want everybody and we need everybody. It doesn't work if Nostr is just full of people who agree with each other all the time.

Then everyone must agree to use nostr. We must create yestr as well if we want to capture everyone. It needs to be super centralized and censorious, just make ypubs easy to convert to npubs so people can migrate easily.
I agree. Same for Bitcoin. It is for everybody. It’s for you and me and BlackRock and the US and Chinese governments and whoever else wants to embrace it. When we have everyone on a money standard that cannot be debased value will tend to be naturally distributed to everyone according to their contributions. Fiat aristocracy might even get a head start, but they can’t enslave people forever on a hard-money standard.
Agreed 100%. I'm against personal offense, calumny, detraction, fake news and so on. Apart from this, the bigger ideological friction, dissension and discordance here, the bigger will be Nostr.

Just replace "nostr" with "Bitcoin," and the relevance remains the same. 🫡
I agree Nostr needs to be for everybody. But if we want Bluesky users to come, we must cater to their needs and offer something they value. The people who are here are here because Nostr gives them freedom. Why are people there? Some people don't want freedom (at least for now), they want a "safe" & curated experience (could be wrong, but this is what I assume they want). How is Nostr better than Bluesky at that? Are we trying to be better at that? How would we even compete with that? This is the only way to win them over.
Ainda não chegamos lá, mas é isso mesmo. Perfeito: «De todo modo, o objetivo aqui é acolher todas as “tribos” e nessa diversidade agente cresce.»
