This kind of thing makes it really difficult for people like me who want out of places like IG but don't even know what the right questions are in order to participate here properly without having things break. I use Damus on my phone but can't zap anyone. I use Iris and Primal on the desktop but both of those aren't as good as Damus. I'm still here bc I believe in what Nostr is doing (the overall picture) but looking forward to an easier experience.
I think this is a byproduct of a free and open protocol. There will be good clients and bad clients because there is no authority to stop them.
It will be incumbent on the user to do their research on whether a client is good or bad.
That being said other then word of mouth is their a rating database for Nostr clients. A place where users can give feedback so new users can pick the best clients?
