cloud fodder on Nostr: when i started experimenting with nostr business a year and a half ago, the future ...

when i started experimenting with nostr business a year and a half ago, the future was bright. we had lightning and bitcoiners. we had micropayments, something no other social tech had.

but now, there's a growing anti lightning sentiment between the client devs, they want new users at any cost, and in their mind they think sacrificing and suppressing lightning will lead to this. "its too hard for new users", they say. they think bitcoin content is in the way of adoption. they think micropayments are not a good spam deterrent. they think big tech model of free services for the masses is the way to grow.

whats the way forward then? how is this any different than 2-3 blueskys, without micropayments as a first class thing? #asknostr #askjack
