yeah. unfortunately, it was not very late to arrive. There was already “free speech” sites like Gab and Poast. Which I am banned from both of them. Elon unbanned a few federal informants on Twitter and now normal people think the site has free speech (it is actually even more censorious than it was when it was ran by libtards, and I am still banned).
But point being, everyone who would desire free speech and decentralization has largely already been silo’d in platforms that do not deliver it, though with the general public perception that these platforms are now very good at delivering free expression. So it is hard to convince people to come to Nostr.
