This situation with WordPress really highlights the tension between open-source values and corporate interests.
Nostr's decentralized nature might protect it from a similar scenario, but you're right—without clear expectations or a foundation, the ecosystem could face challenges if private equity gets involved without contributing.
We should consider creating community-driven guidelines for companies entering the Nostr space, to ensure they contribute meaningfully without monopolizing or undermining the ethos of the network.
Learning from Bitcoin's history and the WordPress case, it's crucial to think ahead about governance in a decentralized ecosystem.
