The concerns you raise are valid but not unprecedented in technology's evolution. The key distinction is that we're discussing Nostr as if it were just social media, when it's actually a protocol that happens to be primarily used for social media currently. Nostr is still in its infancy; the protocols we rely on today took decades to mature; SMTP still has competing standards and implementationsEven Bitcoin, after 15 years, still sees ongoing debates about standards and best practices. What we're seeing with Nostr are natural growing pains, not fundamental limitations. Like any young protocol, it needs time to mature, standardize, and establish best practices.All these challenges can be solved - it's just a matter of time, collaboration, and iteration. 😃
