 I like that nostr exists but discovering people to interact with is harder without centralization, and we don't have the sheer volume of people as Twitter.com

 I think that curation is feasible as long as it is content based, not user based profiling. It could be that the current approaches would be effective if there were significantly more people on here.

 I think we are headed for a decline of empire

I might like to have some idea what's going on in the world at large, but without the global American empire, I suspect most people will be pretty local in their concerns & communication needs

nostr can be a tool for that but I have to get the people I know personally on it
But that is also true of many other protocols

I'm glad nostr exists, and culturally I think these are my people, but it seems to be more of a tool for resisting global censorship inside a global empire and (IMO) not really the right tool for the present or likely future
