its way worse than you could possibly imagine. all we can do is stop supporting them and their companies and start supporting every project outside of their portfolio.
Spin up a bitcoin/nostr funded VC and fund the competing projects. Let the markets figure it out
Lots of whining about nostr:nprofile1qqs2sjd7kmh6l4n4lclkzcjpckfln8gjcg7mkkdmk07dw90ykvn7d5sprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsjxpnlm and nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqnz0fd0 but the way I see it is they are one of the few companies actually shipping products that work and allow us to build bitcoin circular economies. @square/@Cash App is another
I did not start actively using nostr until nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqghwaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8qctjv46x7tn5damkuaa68e2 became useable as a daily driver and now have pretty much completely abandoned twitter and found bitcoin only merchants I get to transact with for things I want/need
i am a heavy user of nostr and its complete bullshit that you need to use centralized products to have a reliable experience. damus android is 1000x more reliable and performant.
Ever hear of meeting the user where they are?
Most people in the world could care less that the products they use are centralized or have any idea what nostr even is but sure you have it all figured out and we are wrong for using nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqghwaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8qctjv46x7tn5damkuaa68e2
Again spin up your own VC and build products that compete. Or just continue to be a whiny bitch
