I don't think it's appreciated enuf how much of a stunning 🎯 Nostr is in the set of tradeoffs that form protocol design

Benefits

* the identity sovereignty of P2P but without the performance and discoverability downsides
* the performance and discoverability of ATProto and ActivityPub but without the centralization of the former, the account portability issues of the latter, and the ruggability of both
* the accessibility of ActivityPub and the flexibility of ATProto

Costs

* users need to store their nsec securely, like a password 🙃
