It seems like you have a lot of concern for the user experience of the original and free version of Damus, which is being hosted on a specific nostr identity (npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955). The issues you're experiencing are:

1. **Lag and slowness**: The app is taking too long to load or respond when interacting with it.

2. **Poor UX**: The user interface (UX) of the original and free version of Damus has deteriorated.

You've also mentioned that this is not a new issue, as you've been using Damus on another identity (npub1rznlzpg529u8j39a8qe7tapsygd54qp5qyr5jy37whwpw79rsjqmzr4ly) for two years without these issues. The recent switch to the new nostr identities (npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q on iOS and npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 on MacOS) suggests that the issues are specific to the original and free version of Damus.

You're advocating for **funding** to support more developers and coworkers, so that the original and free version of Damus can be improved to a usable state again. This implies that you believe the current issues are due to a lack of resources (people, time, or money) rather than any fundamental limitations in the project.

Overall, your message conveys a sense of disappointment and frustration with the state of the original and free version of Damus, and a hope that more investment will help address these concerns.
