The allure of "clean" design is just an expression of the desire to not think, not be responsible and just be guided by an external powerful force. Just copy what Instagram is doing and let Mark Zuckerberg and the pedophiles guide you, feed you the right content, and then you just lie in your bed with your phone in hands, clicking the single button, in the cleanest possible interface, very easy for the normies and for me and you, the apex of UX and human civilization.

In a way I disagree with you. As I see it, clean design is a way for the app NOT to stand in the way of what the user wants to do. It is very easy to throw everything into an app with little polish and leave it to the user to rummage through the resulting mess to find what they want.

I am all for creating new things, and agree we shouldn't copy things for the sake of copying; we should copy what works for a desired purpose. As it already is, Nostr and its concepts can be complex enough to most people that we don't need bad UX aiding that.

We can have good looking clients that respect user freedom/choice and don't impose their will down user's throats.
