I used to use 'X' (or Twitter, before it became 'X') until I discovered I had been "shadow-banned" for months without having any prior idea (except for a lingering suspicion). Nevertheless, it's easy to sign-up for 'X' and there are no weird connection issues to struggle with; although we now know that Twitter was infested by Bots. Otherwise, for those looking to use 'X' from any platform, it just works, and is stable.

With Nostr, we have a wonder-work that sure looks like it is chock full of potential. But for new Users there exists an assault coarse of obstacles to overcome that have next to no explanation (such as which Relays to connect to), and this "secret knowledge" is therefore opaque to all those who don't yet have a friend who's a Nostr Developer / Expert.

On top of which, there's too many unfinished Nostr projects floating around that have been left free (without adequate explanation) to cause a nuisance.

And if you are like me (I don't own a so-called 'Smart' phone out of choice) and use a Desktop to access Nostr, then you'll soon find you are being penalized for not squinting at a tiny screen being held in one's palm, and and building an over-muscularized thumb.

Primal sits at Nostr's leading edge, but its focus is dedicated to the Mobile Community. Many features that you take for granted, we PC Users simply don't get to use because the two forms of access are following very separate development streams ... with Nostr Agents for PC Users at least 1 year behind. Zapping is easy to implement on Mobile Phones but far more difficult to do the same when building for PCs.

I am not picking on Primal here. Far from it. Because this is a uniform reality that currently effects the entire Nostr space.
