If you want people to understand the differences between platforms, you
have to accept that that comes with a learning curve.
Either people LEARN some programmer jargon, and then they can take advantage
of the versatility and openness of the platform... or nostr turns into another
oversimplified, unnecessarily addictive clone of an existing big tech
platform.
Yes, some advantages (not all) will remain in the background, but people
won't be able to utilize that.
Most don't want to learn. They want to use nostr just like any other platform,
without thinking about what that implies.
And many devs go along, because more people means more popularity or
more money.
Let me give 2 examples:
1.
Nostr is a permissionless platform, meaning anyone can (should be able to)
make a new keypair any time they wish. But they don't want to.
They want to get verified instead. They prefer a large follower base over
privacy.
And the verification service? You betcha. Centralized. It has to be, unless you're
willing to make an effort to personally verify (to your best ability) the identity
of the person you're talking to (or at least that they're in fact real).
2.
Content filters. You can either learn you make your own, or you can rely
on a centralized provider. Who would bother writing their own, apart from
nerds?
