 @Seth For Privacy I don’t think this is a fair characterization of what’s being built here. Most of the apps running on the Nostr protocol are less than a year old and have barely even gotten off the ground. Bitcoin took multiple years before people outside some very limited circles began to take notice. This is a FOSS protocol that has a passionate developer community, not to mention a user base that has no desire to go back to corporate social media. Give it time before trashing it, please. 
 Amen 
 I want to at least get his reasons. I haven't seen a Nostr problem that someone isn't working on fixing.  
 Right? Will it die because of slow user adoption? Or because the protocol doesn’t work? @Seth For Privacy, I want to hear you out. Maybe you’re not following enough people to see what’s going on here. Let’s have an open dialogue on the Nostr. Lots of us aren’t even on Twiddler to respond there. 
 Odell on Seth's podcast got me into taking my privacy and education to another level. I hate to see people trash talking him. He wrote what he wrote. I think we're all capable of speaking in absolute terms and being wrong. Personally, I'm bullish on Nostr and the community. This space gives me HOPE.  
 I’m not trash talking him. I have mad respect for the dude. I just want him to talk about why he thinks that. 
 I wasn't saying you were. Look at the responses from other people on the original post.  
 Nah, that’s a shitshow. 😁
