A **centralized** platform, where i have no ownership of anything, makes me pay real sats to Post – and forces everyone to zap/get zapped into a shitcoin(that can't be easily swapped) and that no one wants(hot potato)

This is not the bitcoin cypherpunk way. I was able to accept SN being centralized, but this whole CC drama is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I guess this is my goodbye, cheers.

Yeah I don't know why many people consider SN a platform as nostr. Are different things used for different situations.

I see no argument for not turning this whole site (which has an amazing Reddit-like interface by the way) into Nostr.

Pay-to-post only helps reduce spam/low quality garbage. There must be a way to achieve that via Nostr.

Now everybody has to write to that relay and zap through that relay to participate in the economy with rewards, territory revenue etc.

No point to use nostr then. Only downsides, no upsides.

What have ya'll learned since SN non-custodial transition?

1. Run a relay that only accepts pay-to-post.
2. Make everyone write to that relay so you know who paid to post. Let’s call it nostr.stacker.news
3. Run every zap through that relay that also runs a lightning node so you know who paid. The zaps on nostr you see are just relays and nodes _claiming_ they have been paid. You cannot trust random nodes to tell you they paid you.

Now everybody has to write to that relay and zap through that relay to participate in the economy with rewards, territory revenue etc.
