I’ll play devils advocate, I think nostrils need to be able to compare and contrast with the other protocols out there. I can steel and strawman bluesky and mastodon ad infinitum… I am not so wistful in being able to do this for farcaster or lens. the fact most of the comments here just want to avoid doing this by dismissing someone who might be mislead or purposefully hostile is a really poor argument that is why I think identifying with crypto-nouns be it bitcoin or shitcoin is nostrs biggest hurtle.

not wistful… witting? Capable?

I will say from a quick dive into these other two, that anyone who prefers farcaster to lens is on the right track to be converted to nostr.

The best I can do to steelman a blockchain based social media like lens is they do get some improved UX from the strict singleton (no partial truths depending what relays you've got). The obvious argument is the UX is worthless if the rollup can't scale enough (either fees go up or decentralization goes down)

when briefly looking at lens, I got to: a publication is not a nft unless you make it a collection module then it is an nft, I had enough of the inception.

Yeah, Lens looks awful.
