On a related note, I was introduced to Nostr/Damus by way of conversations happening on Bluesky and Mastodon. But those conversations were expressing skepticism about the ethos of this platform, largely due to the fact that they were already following the app’s account and its creator’s account upon signup. I’m sure you’re a swell guy, but I can also see why new Damus users might immediately get flashbacks of Elon forcing everyone to see his tweets. The optics alone might make this something worth changing.
