If Nostr was around during the block size wars, would the bitcoin software have changed direction?
I learned recently that, while I was still new to bitcoin, the big blockers were kicked from the forums. No wonder I didn't really header much about it. Censorship hurt the community and caused a split on the network.
Unity is deeply important, and that was a bad call by the Core devs and forum mods. I think it's also bad that those two sets had such overlap.
