I understand it and think you all, incluse tether that funds this kind of projects are good actors and have the best intentions.
Still disagree with your points: if Dorsey stop fundings and Fiatjaf burns out nostr will continue to be developed. Most of the improvements come from a real decentralized development, where people build their own things their own way using nostr as interoperable standard. Most developers did a lot of stuffs up and working, and only then they meritocrately been selected for receiving Dorsey funds.
Also, in my opinion, the resilience and sovreignity of the web of trust offered by pubky seems strongly worse compared to nostr: servers can impersonate users, censore people exaxtly like was with activitypub federated networks; the only little advantage I see is the possibility to migrate server updating the dht entry when things go wrong. Also, when things involved dht, idk how this work at scale and how to avoid spamming and align incentives.
Nostr is to me a strong move in the sovreignity realms, people signs their notes, own their graph, easily own their data and really practically can switch over multiple relays smoothly without loose nothing.
With pubkey you "avoid to loose your graph" but do you "own it"? If every interaction result in asking a server for conencting to your friends, hoping server dont exercite his unlimited power to do whatever it wants at your name and to shows you wethever it wants, what do you really own?
