 Nostr feels a little like Galt's Gulch to me.
We want everyone to want to be here, but if they all came would you really be happy about it? 
 If they dislike banks and governments, i'm all for it 😁 
 Someone will eventually make a filter/feed that only show npubs first used before x date. It could be called “Eternal August”. 
 🧡 For those that know this reference without a search. 

For those that didn’t, make sure you  impart this knowledge to the children in your life.  It’s never been more relevant in my lifetime. 
 Like everything it about people realizing they need change, not forcing people to change. 
 Not really. I like the crew we have. Let the  fucktards stay on centralized platforms. We don’t need EVERYONE here, just the cool based Bitcoiners 
 I think the trick with Nostr is you have to want to be here.

It's gotten loads better since I first tried it but it still has that 1st gen VCR or CD player bugginess to it.

Man I'm old 🤣

 Not yet. 
 Yes I actually would. The network effects are worth it and they’ll be able to learn/use Bitcoin. 
 Everyone has to live by the rules of the gulch.  I don’t care if they’re here or not.  I like knowing that if everyone came, they’ll have chosen to live within the same system I’ve chosen. 
 It wouldnt matter because there would be no way to tell, nostr is practically a science experiment in the world of social media 
 Mmmmmm now that I think about it 🤔 
 Let's never forget the September that never ended.  They'll be here in time; until then, we can have nice things. 
 It's a big gulch & there's plenty of ways to find a peaceful spot.

You're certainly not the first to draw this comparison to Nostr. It definitely has Galts Gulch vibes.
