I actually think -- paradoxically -- that the people drinking the Nostr kool-aid the hardest, often have the least appreciation for the solutions it offers, as a technology. That's why they sound like mindless fanatics, rather than discerning citizens.
They use Nostr for philosophical reasons, not for practical ones, but the philosophy should flow from the practicality. That's why they have trouble judging the efficacy of new concepts or voicing criticism for obviously stupid ideas or shoddy implementations. These are all "holy cows" to them, rather than tools to be used, that are more or less well-crafted or innovative.
You can use Nostr to create something simplistically brilliant, or convolutedly idiotic. Software isn't automatically better, just because it uses Nostr, but much software could be improved, by integrating Nostr. Only developers who understand what Nostr does -- and does well! -- are going to make the jump.
This is my prediction.
