Nostr is an even more extreme version of Bitcoin Twitter in many ways. It seems to have attracted a bunch of die hard contrarians with worthless opinions.
Maybe its also being actively astroturfed. But nostr is so niche I doubt it.
Worst part about it is a lot of these people aren't dumb. They're smart enough to latch on to non-mainstream nonsense to get an audience. It's a form of intellectual fraud really. And considering the subject matter, a pretty evil form of it.
Self defeating too: these psychos have a damn good chance of getting Bitcoin and freedom tech killed off.
