When IP was introduced nobody needed an invite. When email was introduced nobody needed an invite. When the WWW was introduced nobody needed an invite. When bitcoin was introduced nobody needed an invite (sort of). When nostr was introduced nobody needed an invite.
If there is some cadre of people that can gatekeep invites, what stops them from gatekeeping people's posts? I don't get blue sky. Are they controlling it temporarily but plan to let it free? Is there some centralization? Some blockchain? I'm ignorant about the thing, but the whiff I've gotten doesn't smell right. I think nostr, for all its warts, is the right way because of it's totally decentralized and totally open nature.
