 Nostr, an eternal joke. Keys with no possibility of rotation in case of compromise. Zero usability. Zero inclusion. Only fascist users, hostile to the LGBTQ+ community and progressives in general.

Decentralization is important, but it is not everything. 🤣  
 nostr’s main strength is simplicity and decentralization, anyone can use it, they just need to choose to. A protocol is not political. 
 That's not true. I saw your note being hostile towards LGBT people. On Bluesky I feel welcome, not here. Decentralization is not everything! Besides, what's the point of decentralization if there's no usability? To post a simple image, for example, you first need to host it on a server lol

Ask a regular user if they really think Nostr is simple?

Would your grandparents be able to use Nostr today? Be honest? Because my grandparents just created accounts on Bluesky. ;-)

 As a newbie, I agree that nostr isn't something that is user friendly at this point, but on the other hand, decentralization is giving everyone equal right to use their voice however they want to. 
If protocol is decentrilized, it doesn't mean that every user will have the same lifestyle, opinion and preferences. 
 should probably avoid using the English language then too. That protocol has all kinds of racist and +-phobic words in it.  
 I am not technical enough to comment about key rotation.

But only fascist users, hostile to LGBTQ+ and progressives - I am not so sure this is completely true.
Like all social media, what you see is influenced by who you follow. But it's an open protocol and you are welcome to be the change you wish to see and bring more of progressive friends if you so wish to. No one can dictate how you do Nostr - do it your way 👍 
 lol stop being a chicken shit and block / moderate (w/ your own) account (isnt that what yall always do on other protocols) too weak to be hostile back to the haters?. bring your community here and post anything you like, youll never be banned unlike on bsky 
 i won't get banned, but I get threatened by haters every day here, unlike bluesky. 
 sorry to hear that ser, good luck at bsky 
 You're more than welcome on my side and I'm 100% sure by the majority of Nostr users.

I think it's fundamental to have a diversity of opinions and I personally don't like to spend time in echo chambers.

So yeah, keep posting. You're valuable and listened! Bring your friends too.  
 "Block" does not exist in Nostr. There is no interoperability 100% between clients lol 
 "To be inclusive, you must exclude the people I don't like"

 You can literally be a progressive and post on any social media platform in the world, including nostr lol. 
 Here at Nostr I am threatened almost every day by haters. Something that has never happened to me on any other social network. 
 'We need the Starmerfication of Nostr, or it'll never work.'

 Is there a Non Hate Crime Incident category for reports yet? 
 Example of a private message I received this week: "You are homosexual, and homosexuals are pedophiles, kill yourself you piece of trash!"

 No, to be inclusive, we must include everyone, including those we don't like! 
 I missed the fascist eligibilty form when signing up @primal pls fix 
 crawl back to bluesky 
 Remember the only way to deal with these idiots is to mercilessly mock them

 You're not going to banned here, so you'll have time to find the middle ground. That's what really really matters.

I think that we'll all get that having time and a place to find the middle ground is the most important thing, not having everyone think the same.

There's always a middle ground. :)
