 I think you’re confusing things. The reason it feels cozy is because you’re in a community of mostly like minded people. 

If we make Nostr to exist where there can be many communities like this then we’ll be able avoid the push for centralized authority. 

And while you may feel great about how Nostr works most folks who get harassed just leave. Either we build tools for people to regulate their own communities or people will return to centralized platforms. I mean even 4chan has mods. :)

 Actually noted a similar idea. Specifically want to emphasize social robustness, or how well individuals can share the same space.

Considering we're already decently robust to censorship, I don't see as it productive to worry about censorship unless you're specifically mentioning changes to the core of nostr. So I'm pro nostr-fragmentation.

From a historical perspective, we've typically never had this frequent contact with more people outside our tribe, and the times we did was less likely to be a positive reason. (probably)

Also thinking about something i'm calling a shield, or "on demand social bubbles". Bottom-up user defined communities. 

 Something as simple as a whitelist of npubs that you see and blackout everyone else, define multiple communties and there might be some interesting interplay between the overlapping npubs between users.

 By all means build tools, but no tool is going to help a snowflake not to be a snowflake.
