Oddbean new post about login | logout Self-custody is for anyone, not everyone. Sovereign-minded people have that option available to them. It's opted into. That's the point. Therein lies the true price of freedom—I can't bring everyone with me. I agree about the simping. Everything takes place in the open here, and some of the bizarre incentives at play are unsightly. Weird witch hunts, cults of personality, and mindless product shilling. That's also one of the reasons why I don't listen to many podcasts. I've rigorously sculpted my feed to tune out the "PODCONF" narratives and now I'm satisfied with the amount of signal I have. You're totally wrong about the amount to development happening here. There's so much fucking FREEDOM being made here that I could burst. I don't know anywhere else where I can find liberty-minded people doing actionable things. Everywhere else I go, people seem to be waiting for a savior. I would've gone completely apeshit last year without a place like Nostr
Amount of development is focused on building VCs bags that they will be able to extract what they injected on here in the future ! There are simple but necessary things that haven’t been developed on here for over a year! Don’t be dumb!

I've been developing my server by myself for a year and a half, no venture capital, no funding, no ego bullshit. Like me there are hundreds, #nostr is not just the circus you refer to in your note. As many have told you stop following the VC circus and start following and supporting those of us who are truly out here alone, fighting against our own time to try to improve this fucking world.
