Some common opinions I disagree with:

* "Everyone should have a NIP-05": Most people aren't associated with a domain and shouldn't have a NIP-05. Being associated with a domain you are not associated with is pointless.

* "The Twitter Algorithm hooks people": I don't believe the Twitter Algorithm has anything to do with why we get addited to social media. I'm addicted to nostr. It's a human instinct to keep up to date on what is happening in your social group.

* "Long posts are annoying/bad": While I think long posts benefit from subject lines or brief summaries at the top TL;DRs, I think it's up to clients to make long posts less annoying. If you want to write a book chapter as a TextNote, I think that should be fine and clients need a way to handle that (e.g. click for more).

I'm sure I have a lot more less-common opinions, but these were just now floating around in my head so I thought I'd write them down.

I have a lot to say on this matter, and my followers are probably tired about me talking about it in posts & replies but will keep it brief until we have “read more” in more clients.

Clients doing different things with \"display_name\" and \"name\" is annoying.

I think this is all to avoid the valid mastodon criticism that @jack@cash.app looks like an email to both humans and operating systems, so we are desperate avoiding using double @‘s to compete with did/atproto in a much simpler manor.

if that wasn’t a valid critique most clients would just have a bold display name for your full spaced name or nick name, and use nip 05 as a unique handle in all situations.
