Have they commented on this? Seems antithetical to the freedom tech ethos. Usually Odell has always seemed straight up about privacy trade offs of tech alternatives

No he doesn't lol
Still waiting for him to follow up on where you said the other day that you always take responsibility when he gets things wrong... the first example I found was about a privacy trade off

I need nostr to support edits, I fucked up my other reply ๐ฏ
My guess is the bitcoin investors and influencers that are invested in these apps see it as a way to increase bitcoin adoption, and they donโt particularly care about maximizing nostr decentralization. they see it as an acceptable tradeoff.
Or maybe they just donโt realize it? It is kind of deceptive so maybe they donโt know. I point it out occasionally but i never get a response, so maybe they donโt want it pointed out.
Nice to have receipts. I hope what you claim is not true or there's something else to it.
Even still I believe Odell to be a net benefit to the space by large margin. He is prolific with content creation that is directionally correct.
As for the response to signal, the draw back of logs is easily avoided by turning off notifications.
Could Odell have mentioned that in his note, sure. Should he have to? No, IMO.
Both plausible.
I sympathize with running a VC fund. There is a 100% certainty some portfolio company is going to go left when you want them to go right. And the fund doesn't benefit, nor is itconstructive, to call out those decisions (mostly).
Would it be more accurate to call such a product as nostr "app" instead of a client?
