Nobody is ignoring the concept of networks, and nobody is focusing on sandboxing, or claiming to not care about helping people. I’m saying that Nostr as a protocol does not discriminate at the base layer. Content cannot be easily censored if sufficiently decentralized across relays. Users and developers can choose what they want to do and build/pick solutions at will. Not sure what you mean. I can publish events to my outbox relays. The events are signed with my private key and others can verify that I signed them by looking at the signature. Others can subscribe to my outbox relays, download my events, rebroadcast them to other relays. Not sure what you mean by real discovery solution. I discover new profiles and content all the time. Onboarding can be improved for sure. No one has mentioned funding here. Nostr will continue on even without funding, but that’s irrelevant. I’m talking about censorship resistance despite the will of any one person, organization, or government.

Don’t you always have to “pray it reaches your intended readers”? The reader can make sure he reads notes from a known user (in single-relay-networks like X it requires just finding the user handle, in nostr it requires finding the pubkey and retrieve his notes from his outbox relays). The discovery and recommendation of content in the more general sense is more complex.
