 yeah it annoys me when disingenuous bitcoiners say everyone should be 'nostr only', like it's some kind of moral decree. most people have connections and communities elsewhere which provide value to their lives. these don't need to be sacrificed to grow something new.

 It's also disingenuous when people say it's because there's no algo. They are just evidencing that they have no interests outside of bitcointwitter chatroom -style posts. Lots of interest aren't here, and so they can't be found. Not all of us are bitcointwitter-only lol:)

 Being Nostr-only is also a terrible strategy to promote Nostr.
You are then only posting to people who already know Nostr (because they are on Nostr). It's a bad idea, it's limiting.
Also, Nostr isn't perfect. It's good to explore different decentralized and censorship-resistant options which may already exist or exist in the future.

There isn't one *specific* platform, or protocol, or really one specific anything that is inherently better. What is inherently better is always something which, if it were forgotten, could be built again. So it's decentralization and censorship resistance, not Nostr specifically.
