why do people who well versed in nostr take issue with people who aren't ?

This is a bad look and is not productive in my opinion.

Then some wonder why more people aren't on nostr.

Its not user friendly to get going and then once you do over half the notes are talking about nostr.

This all needs to change in my opinion for nostr to be on par with X or even Gab, mastadon or that blue cry thing. 

 you missed the point, I'm taking issue with the fact that this guy is still shilling his blockchain scams in 2024 

 Are you surprised that he is? 

 so if you are not clued in you are supposed to somehow get that from your OP? 

 Great take. Same problem with bitcoin.

Interesting bc JB has done a lot to make Nostr user-friendly by coding Damus.

People can’t be all things though! Lord knows developers aren’t great marketers 😜
