You have some fundamental misunderstandings that are making your argument rather confused.
> Yeah, they authenticate that the content was delivered by the server instance with zero third party interference. That's a pretty nice guaruntee, but Nostr's design doesn't allow even THAT much.
No, Nostr does EVEN MORE. Because Nostr notes are cryptographically signed, it doesn't matter HOW they are transmitted, and the content can STILL be guaranteed as being originated by a specific private key, and not have been modified since.
Of course I want bridges to other platforms, and we've already got them... If people don't care about sovereignty, platform risk, being down-regulated or banned by blackbox algorithms, or actually owning their identity, then they don't need to put effort into Nostr. And we can still enjoy their content haha.
What guarantees is Nostr throwing away?
