At least we can say it's Proof of Work. They lead by putting in the hours to make the Nostr happen. So I'm fine with that. And also, because I have no obligation whatsoever to conforming to their ideas or opinions.

I have said this many times here: anything "social media" is not a need. I can do without and simply turn it off if/when I stop liking it or I come to disagree with what's happening, like I did many (in internet terms) years ago now with FB, then with Twitter, long before the Nostr even existed. Both of which I was among the earliest adopters and a heavy user for years.

When I start to see relay-level censhorship and "content moderation", or hardcoded into the clients, I will simply stop using it because those are absolute dealbreakers for me. Nothing dramatic, though.
