Does that not do a disservice to the common protocol that we use? I usually say I want to invite someone to Nostr and then immediately follow up saying that there are a lot of apps to choose from, and show them my profile on 2 or 3 of them. 

 No. The protocol is irrelevant. People want do join a cool community/app. They couldn't care less about the protocol. If you are explaining the protocol first, you are still talking inside our inner circles.  

 I, for one, welcome the inner circles 

 There’s a reason there was a Nostriga and a Nostrasia and not an Amethriga or a Damusasia. 

 Yeah, these are dev conferences. Real world is a LOT different.  

 I tend to think about it the way I think about bitcoin. One protocol, unlimited apps. I’m not promoting any one app because what happens if that’s the one that rugs them? 

 Then that app is to blame. If you sold that app as Nostr, the whole protocol is to blame. This is why people think Nostr is bad, even though what was bad was their experience with the first app, not nostr itself.
