The non tech people aren’t going to join unless there is at least something about this protocol that is similar to what they already use. The feed may look similar but that’s where the familiarity ends. Trying to explain to someone how the relays work is enough to scare them right back to Facebook, lol.
Yes, some apps make that a bit easier by giving you default relays, but that doesn’t help you learn what they mean and what they are capable of.
You’re trying to convince them to use what you consider to be the better protocol, it’s your job to convince them of that and right now, it’s not happening.
I equate how the Nostr client devs operate to how big pharmaceuticals approached the Covid vaccine. If they actually gave a fuck about the people instead of just their bottom line, they would work together to create a more resistant vaccine rather than offering three different watered down versions like you’re choosing your cable package. Fuck that.
If Nostr devs truly cared about the community they are trying to build, they would all work on one client that is fully functional, then you build off of that. Right now it’s a fucking joke because they’re more concerned with becoming #nostrfamous
