Pretty much every criticism of nostr is from someone who doesn’t have the technical ability to analyze it properly, or is a straight up dummy.
Discussion
I’ll believe you when the nostr devs leave telegram to communicate 😅
Jokes aside. You are absolutely right.
That would be me, but I’m also not criticizing
Disagree. There is no shortage of valid criticism about nostr, but most of the criticism of it on 𝕏 definitely comes from a place of ignorance.
What’s valid criticism? Lack of content? Bitcoin nostr?
Lots of things, ranging from lack of client gif selection to confusing relay UX and poor user/content discovery.
So… just UX … not actual feasibility
If long-standing UX hurdles continue to be ignored and remain a roadblock to adoption, Nostr’s fundamental strengths won’t matter. Seems to apply to feasibility, no?
Content is a function of having more users. The reason you can’t discover it is because it’s not there. It has nothing to do with infrastructure.
Relay model moving to outbox, will make managing “network settings” much easier.
All of these things are complicated but solvable and are slowly being solved.
Completely agree, all solvable, but less convinced many of them are being tackled at all, nonetheless slowly.
It’s a misconception by people on the outside. We’ve been looking at onboarding since day 1. If it was all neatly available and easy to query it would already be here. Primal is leading the way in onboarding. The only reason it feels lacking is because of lack of content. Other social media onboarding far worse believe it or not. But their content makes up for everything.
Primal is definitely leading the way. No contest there.
It's not easy, and most people need guidance. Providing tutorials, guides, and FAQs could be really helpful for onboarding. However, some people may only learn when they face consequences, like when their system shuts down and they have no other choice. Additionally, there are those who get caught up in the number of followers they have or believe they're powerful because they're influencers. This mindset could also be holding them back.
It's the natural path of adoption.
1. Denial
2. It's for criminals
3. No body uses it.
4. Only geeks use it
5. What I have to do to use it?
6. 🫂
A little harsh. Haha.
I have empathy for people. The "systems" most of us are under in the fiat-scape mean we live paycheck to paycheck, fight to save anything, and have been indoctrinated in such system. Financial Literacy wasn't traditionally taught.
Privacy, encryption, property rights, sovereignty, money theory etc is a long journey to take...
Not everyone is ready, or capable... and I can't entirely blame them. Big Tech really did a scam on all of us too.
Same with meaning of bitcoin 🧐
