Nostr Web Client

So how does nostr scale and is it different than the conclusion here?

Scale in which sense? You mean by throughput? Nostr can scale infinitely: more people means more relays and everything just gets arranged automatically, you can always connect (and only connect) to people you follow or know or are interested in.

Also Nostr can do moderation just fine, based on relays. What is the question?

The only thing Nostr has against it is status quo bias, which is a giant force.

Perhaps by scale I mean your latter point. Status quo and UX.

The tech is there for what you’re saying about connecting and moderation. How and when will clients make this crystal clear? That’s when users will increase imo

Good question.

If status quo bias includes the network effect (which isn't just down to individual preference/bias), then yes

It doesn't include network effect.

Network effect is another thing, but that was known from the start. I didn't expect so much status quo bias though, naively.
