I rarely come here. My posts don't have any reach, everything revolves around a small number of people, and it's very difficult to find someone to follow. This doesn't bother me, but it must bother those who expect centralized networks to behave in a similar way. In addition, the applications are unusual and the authentication systems created to solve the nsec/npub problem are confusing. If it's already complicated engaging a new centralized network, is even more difficult, let alone something so experimental.

Another problem with the network: Because it is a protocol, everyone rushed to implement a zillion new things at the same time, without solving a single thing well.

If it's a protocol, you should focus on defining it and providing the tools to work with it. I don't see how it's productive to build a protocol from scratch while building high-level applications. That's insane, and that's why there are so many relays and clients that don't implement all the functionality. Nobody had to build the TCP/IP stack to create an email client.
