Don't confuse Protocols with Clients.
Bitcoin is a protocol, Wallets are clients.
Nostr is a protocol, Primal/Damus are clients.
clients don't need to be open, or honest, or benign.
Because open protocols allow for users to move with their data/id to other clients.
Don't like a wallet, move your seed.
Don't like a client, move your nsec.
Bitching at clients is a waste of time.
Build the competing clients is a lot more productive.
