Who owns your followers?
On most platforms, you don’t.
You’re allowed to access them as long as the platform permits it.
If your account is limited, removed, or the rules change, the relationship disappears overnight.
On Nostr, followers are tied to your key, not an app.
Change clients. Change relays. The social graph stays.
That difference isn’t philosophical.
It determines whether you’re building a relationship or renting one.
