What is wrong about this?

It reads like a fair assessment to me.
Cant wrap my head around what he means with a limit on key generation. How is that supposed to work.
also, spam and sybil attacks arent a problem if we just use client side pattern selecting rules to batch filter stuff and there probably are more ways to boost interesting content.
What I thought also.
You don't need to fix everything on the protocol level.
- Nonce reuse needs to be looked at, Maxim raised this too
about leaking the i.p. from the users there is any nip proposed? Or any client implemented some solution, are you aware?
Sybil-resistance is not a problem if you are following people and want to get updates from them, which is the primary use case of the protocol. See https://fiatjaf.com/3f106d31.html
Metadata concerns? I don't get this one. The entire point of Nostr is to have a public profile.
From an analytical perspective It’s probably at least worth pointing out by this person, considering most social media systems people will think of to initially compare Nostr to allow a private profile or are even set to private by default.
(Private in those companies words, not mine)
I should clarify I think public-only is great. I just didn’t realize it until after my npub was generated and I sent my first note in Damus.
"Secure Key Management" is not really a Nostr problem. Everything that relies on cryptography has this problem, and Nostr is slowly managing to solve it the best way possible without requiring a (trusted) central global state (which is how other stuff like Farcaster and maybe Web5 do).
There are no more scalability problems on Nostr then there are anywhere. If you can run a website you can run a Nostr relay. The cheapest website you can possibly come up can still host the notes of thousands of people. I don't get this argument at all, even though I see people making it all the time: "oh you need relays that cost $1000/mo to run!" -- sounds complete bullshit to me.
Aren’t there hosts and then domains, which you buy?
I don’t know any one who owns a host.
That he says Web3 and from that moment I did stop reading.
What is wrong is that it does not mention on what basis/expectation these elements are judged. So we have to gues what the writers expectations are; and i get the feeling that there is this assumption of a coherent network in there somewhere.
Yes, he seems to be talking about the new fancy social networking app launched by millionaire _____ with investments from _____ and ______.
No protocol can be perfect, but some can become insanely powerful.

Misses the whole point of nostr
Hollow, inaccurate, ignores incentives, probably AI generated
