Well let's start from the extreme:

Just use Pubky tech and build that out instead.

"HAHAHA john so arrogant and crazy blah blah"

Let's skip that part this time?

I know this will never fly, but it is useful to start at the extremes.

I think it is a rational suggestion because anything I would edit about Nostr to fix it would be to make it more like Pubky.

To earnestly vet this would require researching Pubky and understanding the differences clearly.

... but i know this will never happen in a million years due to social and VC reasons.

But what if that really is what is best? What would you do if you were me and you knew that?

I can confidently describe how Pubky fixes every Nostr problem, and then adds more powers. Can a Nostr person confidently refute that?

Absurd! Right?

Well, what I learned is that "interoperability" is just everyone using the same thing, so either we compete or capitulate.
