 Nostr private keys are worthless. Spammers generate new ones every second 
 I see... so you think nostr's current architecture is hopeless as freedom tech because there's no way to distinguish real actors from bots. makes sense. no cost of entry = no protective barrier 

I think you're right

I'll start building an implementation of a freedom coordination pay-to-post app on an EVM chain instead. imagine each post costs a small fee to write on-chain. bots aren't profitable enough to spam 
 You don't get the user or social media

People don't want to pay to use it

It can't be all about the money  
 I'm more building freedom tech than social media. if the free thing worked to coordinate rebellion publicly, maybe it would have already worked
