Nostr's really just a subset of HTTP—how you use it matters. The freedom angle feels a bit overhyped. People might think it protects them, but it could end up storing signed evidence forever, potentially more risky than regular socials. And let's not forget, some devs slip spyware into big sites. Personally, I see it more as a tool for social app portability, letting you move between sites easily. That's the real value.
