it is a feature, not a bug
there used to be thousands and thousands of IRC chatrooms, now almost none, where did most of them go? reddit, i guess, a lot of them, but the culture there is toxic, and facebook, xitter, threads, bluesky, slack, etc
the whole point of nostr, as i grasped it very early on was this:
affinity groups
paid relays
organisational chats and forums and other process/logistical comms
i literally now only use two relays, my own self hosted one, which all of my follows are free to use (and their follows) and SilberWitch (nprofile…mm8q) 's The Forest relay
why? because it eliminates the amount of moneros and bullshit scammy rockstar dev ingroup bullshit i see
the core purpose of nostr is about letting us pick and choose where and with who we want to communicate, it's not supposed to be an uncensored twitter
