Hot Karla on Nostr: I agree, I'm long past thinking decentralized or "free speech" in some absolute sense ...
I agree, I'm long past thinking decentralized or "free speech" in some absolute sense are what matter. I just want a place where I can post, follow people I like, and have fun without getting shadowbanned and Fedi/NOSTR is the only place like that rn that isn't obnoxiously hyperpolitical (naming the jew on Gab dot com gets quite boring after the 101st time)
I think the advantage to NOSTR is mostly that it can support things that mainstream sites do well better, and this is actually because the databases are more centralized. But until I have some confidence in the security of the thing, I can't take it too seriously, and I don't think the devs take it all that seriously either. I think eventually a massive hack of some kind will happen and after the damage is done, then the devs will go "shit, I guess we'll deal with it now"
