Nostr Web Client

It’s just dumb that a technical tradeoff discussion between me and laser launched into a full blown campaign from odell and miljan to call it fud and odell to call me a liar. Apparently you can’t criticize them.

Where are the developers saying i’m wrong? So far it has only been investors and influencers.

Most people *dont* understand that its only reading from a off-protocol server, the relay list is super deceptive, i’m also tired of explaining this to people and people saying im making it up.

I’m talking about *facts about how things actually work*. its important for people to know this so that they can make informed decisions.

Its not really fair to compare a real nostr clients to a client-single-server model, they are completely different systems with different properties and security models. Can we not talk about this? Noone cares? Ok great, im talking to people who do.

In my opinion this is a necessary discussion. The beauty of Nostr is that it makes you aware of your freedom and if something limits it you have to know it.

I don’t like the way this turned into a discussion about funding, that is another issue that is very challenging for Nostr, but agree the technical discussion is definitely necessary.

I didn’t realise how reliant on centralised infrastructure Primal was until I saw Will’s comments yesterday and tested myself confirming that Primal stops working if it can’t talk to the cache. While that might be an acceptable trade off to many people to get a very smooth experience, I’m sure that a lot of people using it don’t realise this or understand the implications.
