Maybe it’s just my end. Maybe I don’t know how to make it work, but the attach wallet always gives me trouble. “Invalid nostr connection string”

Maybe I should just use alby wallet, idk

And idk exactly what I mean by fix Damus

Other than the idiot take that, “something about it, I just don’t like”

Maybe it’s that I’m too stupid and uneducated about the protocol in the first place. Like I get relays host the info and make it censorship resistant. But like that’s about it.

I’m not a dev, just speaking as a user

I get on Damus, I touch it for 5 minutes and get off

I don’t how nostr works. Why can’t I delete my posts? I’m confused.

I know part of the Damus goal is not to be doomscroll addictive

But I kinda wish it was, so I can doomscroll on Damus and support it instead of twitter

It’s most likely a small nostr user base that I’m indirectly placing the blame on Damus

As well as my own ignorance and failure to self-educate myself on the protocol

I just think that devs are forgetting that it’s important to teach your users how to take advantage of your tools.

The reason TikTok was so explosive was because it was super easy for users to pick it up and create with it and interact with it.

Damus doesn’t feel that way. I feel like I have to homework just to understand how to use it

Skill issue I guess

I’m probably just an idiot tbh

A decentralized app will never be as easy as a centralized service, it's in the nature of the thing. Right now if you're coming from the big apps, just use Primal for now.

“Just use Primal” kinda sucks tho

Cause I trust and like Will more than the people behind Primal. At least I know who Will is and what he’s trying to aim for

And I can tell that Damus is technically superior

But I am literally using Primal to type this because the user experience is “slightly” better

And others might feel the same way too

But I rather Will capture that audience from big apps on Damus than have them go to primal

User experience matters

It matters so much that people stay on iPhone just to keep their messages blue instead green
