I don’t think that’s entirely fair; the Nostr protocol has a modular design philosophy, with most components being optional addons, including the Bitcoin payments stuff. It’s genuinely decentralized and explicitly made to be easy to not use any baggage you don’t like.

It’s unclear from the article if the use of the protocol will also mean overlap with the content and community of Nostr, which is understandable to criticize, but the protocol itself is just another take on decentralized social media that does things differently than activitypub.

This doesn’t seem like much of a solution to me, they’re still being raised by people using social media, and will be thrown into it at some point. The obligatory age checks are going to make the surveillance state way worse.

I hope it will be a situation of medical care being allowed to get somewhat worse, instead of the same standards and institutions being maintained despite not enough funding to keep hospitals open at that standard and so medicine is generally prohibited for the poor.

No caffeine multiple days in a row. I often enjoy it, and I don’t think it’s really that bad for you, but I don’t like the way it adjusts my personality and state of mind if that makes sense and it’s easy to get addicted enough to start feeling like crap if you don’t have any.

It also bleeds when you floss yourself after not doing it for a long time
