If you use other social media, YOU ARE THEIR EMPLOYEE, you have no recourse if they terminate you. You have no ownership or rights. You work and communicate at their pleasure.

People always say “but I need to talk to my grandma”… CALL her!!

quoting note13sy…mzzk

I can understand people not abandoning traditional social networks where they’ve made big investments of time & energy to build an audience…

BUT I cannot understand refusing to invest ANY time and energy into a protocol that can’t be shut down.

It’s like buying a huge, expensive house, filling it with your favorite things, then putting candles in every room, but refusing to add a smoke detector or buy insurance. You’re just begging to lose everything.

Any investment made into a centralized service, ESPECIALLY one that is known for censoring people and shutting down accounts for no reason, should at MINIMUM require an equal investment into a decentralized alternative.

If everyone who was aware of the problem did this, #Nostr wins.
