I don’t agree with some points of this take. Censorship resistance is a strong property of Nostr but it’s not the main point for majority of folks. It’s your portable identity, portable data, and free network effects, combined with use cases beyond just social media — which seems like a core focus of your note. There’s nothing wrong with having overlap with X — the point is Nostr is already almost a superset of what X provides but with even more.
I got into Nostr before I got into Bitcoin. Just because there’s a concentration of a certain demographic, doesn’t mean the protocol is necessarily catering to only that demographic. Where I do agree with you is that Nostr needs the other stuff with thoughtfully designed experiences to succeed to have folks want to use it. Comingle (npub1c0n…g243) intends to be one, and sounds like Satlantis is, too.
