Apple pay exists because Apple people have to waste time and energy fighting around an added layer of oligarchy. Zapplepay is great, but entirely unnecessary outside of the domestic abuse relationship people have with this tech company. Again, making excuses for your abuser, and saying that their censorship is somehow beneficial to Nostr development.

Damn autocorrect lol

You’re part of a fraction of a percent of bitcoiners who understand Nostr. And bitcoiners make up a fraction of a percent of the general population. There will be plenty more bad actors in the “then they fight you” stage besides Apple. Arguing that everyone should just give up an ecosystem that they have invested time and money into, and that they have an emotional attachement with is a losing strategy. Yes, those who understand bitcoin and Nostr, and the importance of freedom tech in general get it. But being rude, and telling people they are being sheep is not going to help onboard the average person using an iPhone, or a Googled android device. Look at the big picture… the android vs apple trope is old and tired. Stay classy, Nostr.

Why would I be having a discussion on Nostr, talking to another Nostrich, and be trying to onboard them? You're already here. I'm just not down with pandering to Apple. I don't get it. Onboarding is great, but that's not what you're doing with this note.
