"People don't care." @jack on privacy and AML/KYC re: Twitter at #nostriga What a fucking stupid argument. The market created Nostr for starters, used by people who do care. Equally _lots_ of people are failing to get blue checks for privacy reasons.

I didn't watch but probably what he means is: the large majority don't care. Which is absolutely true.
He was talking about the possibility of, eg, blue checks being purchasable via non-AML/KYC methods. In that context failing to provide options for an important minority is stupid. It's as stupid as saying "Only a small minority of Twitter users have a lot of followers; there's no reason to make their experience good." Obviously, the small minority who really need this stuff are often your most interesting users, who drive user interactions from the majority. Snowden being a great example! Who Jack went on to point out had left Nostr due to bad privacy!
I get your point but this only matters for "influencer" type of social networks where niche power users need to be catered to. I would argue that nostr is not that, it's more akin to early facebook with a more sparse graph. Or maybe that's only because it's still small ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He was defending Twitter's lack of privacy, which is 100% an influencer type of social network.
It's demonstrably wrong. Lots of users care.
