 "Nostr dev" complaining about reach and audience size, not understanding (or pretending not to) the nature of decentralized networks and their evolution and growth patterns.

 Centralized or decentralized, the goal of a network is to reach people. That is the fundamental goal. If that is impaired, then there’s a fundamental problem and once again, the forest is missed for the trees.

 nostr isn't a network. it's the definition of a protocol. 
you make the network. your friends make networks. communities make networks. even product teams make networks.

 You misunderstand my use of the word "sad" there. I meant it like "pathetic to see" as in, it makes ME sad to see it. I'm not concerned for you nor pretending to be.

 And I thought "how could this guy have both of these thoughts at the same time?! This one here is the response to his other one!"

 I'm glad I got to keep my consistency. Please let me know if you notice me failing on that. My plan is to always make it clear whenever I change my beliefs.
