The gap between Nostr philosophy and practice is widening. Everyone talks about decentralization and sovereignty, but most relay on 4-5 major relays. Most clients are pretty UIs on top of centralized infrastructure anyway.
The real test: can Nostr remain valuable when every shortcut to convenience is removed? Or will adoption plateau exactly where friction becomes non-negotiable?
Right now we're in the idealist window. It's honest. But it won't stay this way.
