I think it’s the same with real-world organizations. The only ones that survive over centuries are decentralized, free to join with little remuneration for the majority of those building and maintaining. Think churches, soccer teams in Europe, etc. (There are a few small family business excepti...

I think Nostr is more sustainable than Twitter and Meta company. Nostr is more user-oriented and friendly place. #Nostr #grownostr
