Replying to Avatar James Cridland

Nostr's relay architecture means, though, that nobody can say "find me on Nostr at xxx@xxx.x" because you need to also know the relays that the person is using. This seems an Achilles heel for this network, and makes it entirely unsuitable as an alternative to Masto/Twitter/BlueSky etc.

I’m not sure what gave you that impression but it’s not true. The user name rabble@fivvy.com is one my nostr names and it has the relays I’m using.

If you just have the npub for a user then yes it’s an issue which is why folks should be sharing either the nip-05 username@domain or full nprofile which embeds relay information so clients know where to look things up.
