Nostr Web Client

This FUD is super confusing, literally no one has to KYC to use X, and you can easily use things like SMS verification services, email aliases, and crypto-funded debit cards to even have a blue check without giving personal info.

I understand people want X users to move to Nostr, but lying to them isnt a moral or effective strategy.

If that changes to require KYC, of course everyone sane should leave and invite every follower off to Nostr.

But let's please not lie to try and bring people to Nostr.

Yes no need to lie, but it would be awesome if you would be more balanced and be more forthcoming on your twttr post about the absolute need for something like nostr, for freedom of speech and decentralized communication channels, and how incredible it is that it exists, instead of focusing only on the negatives around privacy/pseudonymity and the kyc thing.

Surely you want your followers to have an alternative to twttr?

Also, by participating here people help the devs by testing and offering feedback and that is partly how it keeps getting better.

To just assume it’ll be here so that everyone ‘sane’ can leave twttr and invite their followers here when kyc is implemented there … well, I have some

judgements about that but no need to be explicit, I think you get the picture:)

Ive spoken and written widely on the benefits of Nostr.

im also entitled to speak on the tradeoffs. Feel free to check my Twitter, I think I've made two total negative posts about Nostr.

I appreciate the criticism and differing opinion, break the echo chamber and make people consider their views. (Mine included)

You are of course entitled to do so, I was just suggesting keeping balance in the negative posts so as not to turn off followers who may be new, or may not have seen your positive posts (like myself).. twttr algos can never be trusted to show all the posts as you well know ..

Also, I still disagree with the framing of ‘if twttr goes kyc just go and invite all your followers to nostr’ without simultaneously suggesting ppl get used to it and contribute where they can now, so that it is more certain to ‘be there when one needs it’.. does that not make sense?
