 Nostr is the best thing going on right now

But it's not the ONLY thing going on.

So it would help our case if you'd be a little more tolerant to other ideas, because those other groups/protocols/ideas/causes will be more welcoming to come here

 Exactly what I'm saying. I don't understand why people think that Nostr can fix every single problem with digital communication and media. It's just like how people assume that Bitcoin can fix literally every problem related to the economy and government when it definitely can't. 

That doesn't mean that they can't help and can't be a very important cornerstone in the movement. I just don't know why they insist on being such fanboys as to think that their favorite technology is somehow going to be the thing that fixes the world on its own. The truth is that we have more technology now than ever before to free ourselves from big tech, corporatocracy and government oligarchy, yet some folks would deliberately ignore that tech if it's not BTC or Nostr. It's bizarre.
