 Good advice, but the collective "we" need to make sure the conversation continues in public, not just behind closed doors where devs and operators can be persuaded that the userbase wants something they don't.

Very proud of the devs and operators we have, but we can't take this situation for granted. 
 ARE YOU OPERATING AN UNLICENSED NOTE TRANSMITTING RELAY, CITIZEN?  
 There is no public. Most people on Nostr don't even see my notes or use my relay.

We are all just npubs, voicing our personal opinions in our favorite private spaces and managing our private property, as we see fit.

There is no "we". There is only the protocol. 
 I can't agree with that, dear student of Rand.

The protocol developers and infrastructure operators remain largely human, and more subject to social pressure than they will admit. 
 That is a good thing. 😂 Being human isn't a fatal flaw.

Any developer makes something implementing NIP-01 or interpreting/analyzing events is a "protocol developer", BTW. So, that includes you, now, too.

Build what you want to build. 
 Until they change NIP-01 again - because some VC brought an e-girl to a conference...

But otherwise I agree, and awwww thanks! 
 Ha Ha, yeah, I've read Rand. Guilty. 
 We are who we quote, even paraphrased...

:p
