 nostr’s main strength is simplicity and decentralization, anyone can use it, they just need to choose to. A protocol is not political. 
 That's not true. I saw your note being hostile towards LGBT people. On Bluesky I feel welcome, not here. Decentralization is not everything! Besides, what's the point of decentralization if there's no usability? To post a simple image, for example, you first need to host it on a server lol

Ask a regular user if they really think Nostr is simple?

Would your grandparents be able to use Nostr today? Be honest? Because my grandparents just created accounts on Bluesky. ;-)

 As a newbie, I agree that nostr isn't something that is user friendly at this point, but on the other hand, decentralization is giving everyone equal right to use their voice however they want to. 
If protocol is decentrilized, it doesn't mean that every user will have the same lifestyle, opinion and preferences. 
 should probably avoid using the English language then too. That protocol has all kinds of racist and +-phobic words in it.
