I would interpret it as anyone is welcome. The only barrier to entry is an internet connection, and even that is needed for just part of your experience. I'd guess it's context is the censorship seen in the last decade on most social media platforms.


> I would interpret it as anyone is welcome.

...which is a very much a political statement.


"Welcome" is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone can join, but I am sure as it is also with our real worldwide community, not everyone is welcome or is accepted equally.

But the point is, nostr does not intent to judge that. It happens automatically while communicating. Nostr is just the means to communicate.


Welcome in this context means you can use it the same as anyone. There is no everyone, nostr is just tech.


It's a political statement about the commons being apolitical. As opposed to, say, Lemmy, which is explicitly political.


Is there a point you're making, or question?
