Disagree, they'll know and care if it's nostr protocol because they'll have to choose between open Internet (nostr) and closed internet (the rest). Hiding things from users is a walled garden tactic. Apple made users forget how to think. Example: in China everybody knows what firewalls and vpns are..

Hmm. I see your point but I also see apps like nostr:npub1earna05hx6ax38r33h3atmecjzdu547m8suw87w70aw6mlyga4hsqcja5j using Nostr for powering their socials and I doubt a lot of those users actually care or know that they're using Nostr. I could be wrong.

Agree with Derek on this one đź’ś

I also agree. As much as I hate the closed off AOL Internet style of ZBD I see it’s purpose and Nostr is there to support it too.

Also agree with Derek. Most people really don’t care about the technology they’re using. They just want it to work and make their lives easier.

That could change, but only time will tell!

Ya I just don't like how the internet has evolved, and I've heard this 'has to be so easy people don't know how it works' so often as an excuse to ignore how things work. I can't help but think this is how we got here:

Browsers: captured, centralized

Email: captured, centralized

Mobile Devices/personal compute: captured, centralized

Social media: captured, centralized

Bitcoin: ?

Lightning: ?

Nostr: ?

Is the answer to normalize learning how things work? Or can we really have both? We do have AI to help learn now. 🤔
