Oddbean new post about login | logout Part of the reason nostr is such nice place is that most people here share values. If other groups make their way on here it will stop being that.
Just doing my my part to continue the tradition of making bold predictions based on 0 evidence and that's what everyone else is doing.
I can't remember where I heard it, but all networks can only degrade. (It was probably Yarvin)
Constrast NOSTR with something like Urbit. Nostr, anyone can run a relay, anyone can build a client, etc. There are little to no barriers to entry. Urbit, on the other hand, has a ton of barries to entry. It's relatively hard to setup, get access, etc. There is a clear heirarchy built into the design. It's that way on purpose to preserve quality of members. Interestingly enough Urbit is built on Ethereum.
