Most people, including yourself, use more than one social media app. I actively use 5 or so, plus chat apps. It's obtuse to ignore that an aspect of creating things is sharing those things with as many people as possible, wherever it is most appropriate.
Nostr people need to know they have been misled, and how Pubky goes above and beyond anything this community has managed to emerge.
So, "WhY dO yOu sOcIaLizE iN mOrE tHaN oNe PLaCe JoHn?" is not a sincere perspective, it is vengeful one. The real question is something like "How dare you come into our house and insult our furniture?"
Do you see the problem here?
The fact that there are people using Nostr does not disprove any of my prior criticisms, does it? If people use a website, does that make them believers of all the tech inside it?
This whole idea of protocol allegiance is a huge problem, it's Bitcoin derangement syndrome, where you think it is some sort of offensive taboo to doubt the tech, just because everyone here needs to believe they are "early" and "see the matrix" or something.
Just be honest and say "John, I wish you could find a way to make it more comfortable to agree with you, it hurts my ego when you attack nostr" so we can talk about real things, instead of constantly finding passive aggressive ways to cut me down because I can refute your theories.
A lot in this I totally agree with, even if hard to admit
Feedback, especially negative, can be the hardest to distill
Time will tell if Nostr is a failure
In the end, the most effective way to evaluate Pubky it to be interested in it, and how things like it work, why they differ, etc.
While it can be easy to start by contrasting it to Nostr, there is no way for me to do so while also making Nostr lovers feel comfortable and superior (unless I lie, coddle, equivocate, undersell Pubky, etc, etc).
Many people would already consider Nostr a success, and for many different reasons, including myself... it just depends on the context.
Just keep at it. Maybe it'll catch on!
