We used Nostr Calendar Event types for a while (when we spoke in person in Helsinki and when I sent you reminders online), but the current Nostr stack limited what event organizers were asking us, so we adapted quickly to deliver what they needed (not only login, but also dms, co-host invites, attendee invites, etc.). If we wouldn't have delivered, our users would otherwise have moved to Meetup/Luma. I have nothing against them, I think they are products for a different audience though.

Think about why the majority of bitcoin event organizers are still using Meetup/Luma even they go against the sovereignty ethos most of us share. They are accepting some trade-offs until the alternative products are mature enough to solve their problem. I remember the first days of @Satlantis: Social Events 😅 What a buggy software (and we still have a lot to do), but here we are, showing up every morning listening to users feedback and shipping new features 🚀 We recently surpassed the 1,000 events mark 🎉🎉🎉

I think we are all working hard on the sovereignty path. Everyone can use Nostr, Bitcoin, Javascript or any other open source software to build amazing projects (open source, close source, free or paid, that's part of the deal) and if they happen to have sustainable business models, everyone will win. But pointing fingers at people for not doing what one believes is the right path is a mistake. What matters is the Proof of Work, and the nostr sign-in with Primal is the one we shipped today based on our users' needs.
