Nostr Web Client

the client doesn’t verify notes or read from relays. It is just a lite client that talks a proprietary api to their caching server. That server controls everything you see and could ban people and you wouldn’t know it. It’s against the entire ethos of nostr where users control what they see

I agree such features are against the ethos. Yet Nostr remains decentralized and no client/platform can permanently change that.

yes, but raising awareness of this is important so that it stays this way

I actually didn't even know that until right now. I've been here for years, although hardly as a Primal user (occasional testing to see what they're up to - like this week). Highlighting the pros and cons for alternatives is important and people should do the same with Damus or any other client.

But I haven't verified this, to be clear. I just haven't heard it before now. We should also verify.
