"my post was specific and directed at x not you"

If you wish to have a private discussion with someone, I suggest using

a private channel. You made a public post.

If you want people to understand the differences between platforms, you

have to accept that that comes with a learning curve.

Either people LEARN some programmer jargon, and then they can take advantage

of the versatility and openness of the platform... or nostr turns into another

oversimplified, unnecessarily addictive clone of an existing big tech

platform.

Yes, some advantages (not all) will remain in the background, but people

won't be able to utilize that.

Most don't want to learn. They want to use nostr just like any other platform,

without thinking about what that implies.

And many devs go along, because more people means more popularity or

more money.

Let me give 2 examples:

1.

Nostr is a permissionless platform, meaning anyone can (should be able to)

make a new keypair any time they wish. But they don't want to.

They want to get verified instead. They prefer a large follower base over

privacy.

And the verification service? You betcha. Centralized. It has to be, unless you're

willing to make an effort to personally verify (to your best ability) the identity

of the person you're talking to (or at least that they're in fact real).

2.

Content filters. You can either learn you make your own, or you can rely

on a centralized provider. Who would bother writing their own, apart from

nerds?

All of the sudden, I have a really long to-do list...

Much to be improved.

New functionality to be added.

That message is not internally consistent.
