I am always torn between thinking humans will never learn and there is no hope for us, versus humans are wonderful creatures and our creative minds are our biggest assets.

Probably because not appealing to normies is the easy way out.
In the next few days many people will throw out their christmas tree. A tree which took about 7-8 years to reach ~2m. 🤔
Just bought some seeds to grow my own reusable christmes.
And it still has no broad adoption in daily life.
This is one of the most interesting features of #nostr that no other social media app has: instant micro payments between people.

Getting Bitcoin (atleast in Germany) is still as cumbersome as ist was in 2015. Most open source lightning wallets are still in beta...

Amethyst and Plebstr are not able to load the reposted note. Iris can. It seems this is due to the proxy to activitypub.

The comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38718544 are proof that we can't make "just apps" and have people use them without knowing that Nostr is a thing. Users must know.
And in fact I think it is much easier to teach people about Nostr than about why your damn app doesn't have email+password login and where is it storing things and how does moderation work without telling them about Nostr.
And when they finally understand the basics of Nostr they will suddenly understand everything about not only your app, but about all other Nostr clients.
I have to partially disagree. People should not have to understand the underlying tech to use a product. Most people are not even aware that JSON exists. If they have no technical background, why would they even try to understand it?
I really like the idea of nostr, but even as a technically capable person, I found the current apps cumbersome (unfortunately).
It could help to teach concepts like "moderation works locally" but I don't see why users need to understand that this is due to the underlying architecture of relays.
I am truly excited about nostr, but I believe there is still a lot of work before broader adoption could happen.
