In the past year and a half, many people have (rightfully) criticized NOSTR for its flaws, but the importance of NOSTR lies not so much in its features as in its very existence.

A protocol, however flawed, will always be better than alternatives that don’t yet exist. In recent weeks, many are realizing the need for a decentralized alternative. 

Nostr is here. And that's all that matters.

 Totally agree. I said exactly the same thing in today's team meeting. 
 Well said, Federico. 
 What happened in Brazil people flocked to Bluesky than Nostr. Protocol alone is not enough. 
 Doesn’t really matter. The masses will always prefer the comfy solution. But for the few who really want to opt out it’s important for the decentralized alternatives to be there

 NOT ALL FLAWS ARE EQUAL. COMPLEXITY IS WORSE THAN MOST. NOSTR IS SIMPLE.
