I think it's important to call out these points of disinteroperability, so we can find ways to work with each other. I also think it's important and necessary to recognize that all developers have the capacity to do what they want.
The most one can do is form coalitions with other developers and relay operators around standards.
A Buzz ecosystem at worst interoperability is a 1 relay 1 client space that bother's no one, with free exit afforded by the mechanics of having an npub.
I'm starting to understand that the capacity for allow individuals to refuse coordination is what makes nostr strong because there's no authority mandating a single frame, which is problematic when an organization with a lot of power and influence comes in an forces a change on the whole protocol that everyone must conform to.
That's the playbook for how protocols die, when a single authority enters the space (embrace) forces change through carrying influence (extend) and eventually moves the protocol to only use proprietary technology to work with everything else (extinguish).
cloud fodder (nprofile…7nrg) is also working on making buzz more general-nostr friendly🙏so that's another route for interop.
