I think #NOSTR is great, but people who think it is going to take over and out-compete (or even be equal to) centralized platforms seem kind of deluded.
Most people just don’t care about “owning” their data. Most people don’t care about getting banned (because most people don’t get banned). They just care if it works or not. And for most people, for most purposes, the existing platforms continue to just work.
Censorship resistance is where NOSTR excels, but it’s a niche market, and maybe always will be.
