> Who are these people who got actively managed out by Nostr insiders? I am not aware of any of that occurring. I could tag a whole list of deleted npubs here. It would not change Nostr’s weaponized "unawareness". And targeted attacks. Nothing will. Nostr has either silenced or pushed away most of the non-blessed devs who tried to build anything here. The few who are still around have given up trying to fix the social aspects of Nostr and retreated to other sruff. Actually, forget folks coming from other protocols. Not even BTC builders who are not into right wing nonsense can stand Nostr. 📝 a025f9bd… > What good contributions got ignored? I'm sure this has happened, it is not possible to prevent it entirely, but I am not aware of any specific case or any movement for ostracizing contributors of any type. The NIP repo alone has plenty of PRs with comments and support that went nowhere because none of the insiders care. I know you want to shut the NIP repo down, but this isn't a fix to the core issue that Nostr is not welcoming to outsiders of the "wrong" kind. There are maybe a couple of dozen people able to get the current crowd on Nostr to try anything to a meaningful standard. In practice, decision making os down to tiny group, with a lot of dressing up to hide the fact that the Nostr zeitgeist does not want "outsiders". "People don’t care about tech" is just an excuse. You may believe, or at least try to convince yourself, that Nostr is a meritocratic and technology-oriented experiment. Unfortunately, it is neither. It is just as ideologically driven and hostile to the "wrong" ideas as Bluesky. You do not need to bother replying to this. I will not read it and I will not be back on Nostr. I just want to leave a note in homage to the fallen.

I asked for names and examples, but you gave me none. I don't know why @0aa39e5a…b6dff738 left, but it didn't seem to be because anyone did anything wrong to him, it seems to me that he just wasn't enjoying. It is bad news, but what can I do? I don't enjoy Nostr most of the time either. Nostr isn't an enjoyable place, it's a construction site. I don't think Bluesky is problematic because it's full of leftists, I think the protocol is bad. If the protocol was good I would be supporting it and helping build it even if it was full of leftists. (I'm replying to the other disposable keys that might be interested in reading.)

Don't conflate Nostr with OpenSats and Jack's funds. Those influence how many Nostriches find out about your project, and how many regularly use it, but nobody can stop you from building. And you can always launch finished projects off-Nostr. Some of us are broke nobodies, but we've still been building for years. Including social clients, like my https://jumble.imwald.eu/ and some of the most advanced OtherStuff clients. I know you won't read this and I don't care. Maybe someone else will.
