 Nostr is a decentralised protocol, you make it what you wish. Go make it as you wish, stop whining. I’m in my 50s, all my life in entertainment industry surrounded by gay people. I’ve never come across any that are like the modern era where we suddenly all have to be obsessed with people’s orientation. Just get on with life and chill the fuck out

 Let me make this clear. The Nostr protocol is excellent! My criticism is not directed at the technical aspect of the protocol itself. It's more about the content and the lack of diversity on Nostr. What's trending on #Nostr? Almost always just things related to bitcoin. And that puts people off. We need a more inclusive network that covers all kinds of subjects, from culture, literature, cinema, politics, news, etc. Otherwise we fall into an epistemic bubble and an echo chamber about bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin.

 That’s not Bitcoiners’ fault. Bitcoin generally pushes all tech as it’s full of great people. You need to attract more of your interest here. Bitcoiners are f’ing bored with all the wokery. Most want systemic change across the board. There are plenty of gay Bitcoiners I’m sure. I don’t care what people do in their private lives. Bitcoin is a massive topic that opens many conversations, fixation on left / right straight / gay is dull as fuck. We all want a world where we just get on with life
