Thats how it works

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

After having tried the Arc browser for just a day and no longer using it, here is my conclusion:

1. Don't have time to learn new browser behavior, even if it's better

2. Didn't feel like I was missing anything after closing it, no urge to re-open.

3. Password management is a pain and I don't want to get it working on a new browser.

I think it's tough remaking something people are so used to.

If I had to draw some parallels between browsers and nostr, I'd say the password hurdle (lack of a reset function and just learning what keys are) might be a blocker for many. Not saying they won't learn, but it could be an issue for a bunch of people who'd rather not bother.
