 The argument over CEOs being arrested and nostr not being any better is weird. 

A single point of failure or hundreds of points that must fail (and still not going to kill the protocol).

Is it not obvious which is better?  

Feels more like denial and “I don’t want to lose all the followers I’ve built up” than anything coherent. 
 Not to mention, one is completely open source and the other isn't.  Capture the CEOs and new ones will take their place. 
 And it’s not limited to notes … we have music, recipes, streams, blogs, literally everything. Id like to see the argument for evil recipes 🤣 
 I guess it's a good thing I went Nostr only from the start.  
 Agreed. I do feel that it must not be an easy feat to switch from a platform where on may be making their living via their influence to this one.

 That's funny, because nostr provides the resilience against "loosing all the followers I've built up".  
 💯 
 The number of nodes in Nostr is unlimited, that's why developing the protocol will never fail. As long as you are willing, you can continue to run Nostr with one client and one relay.

 I believe one of the main reasons the "influencers" on X haven't switched to #Nostr is precisely the fact that they cherish their follower count more than the quality of engagement 🐸
