I dunno if people are leaving Nostr because of alleged hate speech, that seems like a stretch. Leaving because it lacks variety, sure, but hate speech is probably low on the criticism list.

That said, I don't have a problem with feed curation tools as long as they are at the individual level. I can see people wanting a tightly curated feed where I would prefer the wild west. One of the things I didnt like about the Fediverse is that the Instances govern what it's users see. As long as these tools are only at the individual level it doesn't bother me.

I think people are leaving nostr because user experience, apps aren’t perfect yet, there is no search and they can’t find what they are looking for, you can’t monetize yet on here. It takes time to build things and improve. Eventually the majority of those who left will come back. I personally saw only few people complained about the harassment or trolling 🤷‍♂️

The search definitely is a sticking point. Its just not there yet, thats a big one. There are weird quirks like follower counts jumping around - that one doesn't bother me but I can see people being annoyed with it.

The one thing I don't know how you solve is the key pair thing. That attracted me to Nostr because it was so familiar, but I can see it having the opposite effect on people. My guess is some clients will obscure that piece while others will make it easy for users to rhn with it who want to?

In defense of the clients though, it was so bad early on. Things crashed constantly, it didnt scroll well, it was a bad experience for people coming from something more polished like Twitter. Its come so far. I worry that people left early on because they had a bad experience and haven't given it a second try now that things are leaps and bounds better.

Definitely! Key management needs to be designed ! Bitcoiners understand what is npub and nsec but normies will not ! Onboarding billion people on nostr with current set up is not going to happen!

Regrading the clients: I been here over a year now and I do remember how buggy it was and that not too many could even set up their profile pictures! Devs improved it 100x since then ! But people who are using centralized apps still having better user experience there !

I have been yelling on here about the tiny implementation as a quote notes to the devs for months it’s still fucked up and shows in the weird way that normies definitely don’t understand it was a reply or quote note 🤷‍♂️ just my 5 cents

Hahaha half the time I can't tell the difference between quotes and replies, i just treat them as the same thing at this point. Its funny you mentioned that because I was just thinking about that

DMs are also broken as fuck! No way normies will love it! Instead of overthinking and focusing on dumb stuff better put this energy to improve a small pieces that really makes much more sense 🤷‍♂️
