Admittedly, the effectiveness of the values of censorship-resistant and free speech is quickly being diluted as new initiatives enter the scene, which is good, as it shows how much Nostr has foreseen and how it has pragmatically acted to uphold these values.
That's kind of what happened with encryption aimed at privacy-it was assimilated, sometimes domesticated, and became almost commonplace.
So I think there is a need to rethink communication, with new elements that incorporate and extend the initial motivations and at the same time clearly establish the points on which any other platform can never compete. I think the central point is not having a central point, which is independence.
Independence not as individualism, but as the absence of conditioning, sovereignty.
With Nostr, the user is independent of platforms and platforms are independent of technical constraints. This virtuous independence creates a freedom that was previously unknown, freedom that is blossoming into new projects, collaborations and interoperability, freedom of expression and freedom to choose what content to access, without mediation.
I am sure that many more benefits of this fundamental value will emerge.
Be independent, live free.
