Nostr should be pitched as Freedom of Economy.

Those of us that are using Nostr are networking and transacting in ways that these centralized platforms don't allow.

Freedom of Reach is also important and given that it's Mr. Musk's retaliation phrase it should be something plebs on Nostr should focus on to peacefully combat these technocrats.

Nostr has Freedom of Reach. It doesn't mean you will reach everyone. It just means that you possibly could.

Which goes brings us back to Freedom of Economy.

With the Freedom to Reach and the ability to use Nostr as a Payment Directory plebs can now find services directly rather than relying on the intermediary services of centralized platforms.

This doesn't just refer to the standardized platforms whose brands we have become used to as the norm. It applies to all online services.

It is easily possible that years from now Primal, Damus, Ameythst, and many other clients may no longer be around. But, by using the protocol are the proof-of-work we still be accessible.

Last of all, as projects like Bluesky, Ethereum, and many others continue to use the term "decentralized" to promote themselves this term will become unusable for the masses on the outside of these terms similar to how the phrase "Freedom of Speech" is currently being abused.
