 That's coming from people who tried it, I am more interested in those who hear about nostr as a tech and have doubts whether it's worth trying

 Why does that matter. How will you convince them to try it? They have to try it to make an assessment, no?

 Someone looking at nostr as Twitter alternative has to check out the content etc and doesn't care about internals.

Some IT person looking at nostr as a new tech cares about internals much more than short note topics. IMO

Anyway, curious what technical issues they point out. Let’s see.
