 Here's a few questions I came up (I'm not a hater, but don't push me):

1. Why can't I access every/any note ever publicly posted on the Nostr?

2. Is the "Global" feed truly global, or only all of the publicly posted notes from the relays you are connected to?

3. Why do I sometimes see replies and reactions when I log into other clients that I didn't see before? How much have I missed because of this?!

4. Why does trying different clients sometimes cause me to lose my follows and profile data?

5. How can I recover my account if I lose my private key/NSEC?

6. Why can't I reset my private key if it gets compromised or leaked?

7. Why do Nostr clients/websites ask for your private key if that can cause your data to be leaked and your account to be compromised?

8. Why does my client show that I have 1 follower when other apps show I have hundreds?

9. Why can't I edit or delete my notes?

10. Will connecting to a lot of relays slow down my Nostr client and experience?

11. Is it even possible for something to "go viral" on Nostr?

12. Is some of my data getting lost as relays shut down or purge older notes?

 Learn a little more about how it works.  These questions reveal that you don’t understand it..like, at all. 
 Hate is fine, but you can’t hate something if you don’t understand it.  You just hate some idea that you create in your head, which is pathetic :( 
 Ridicule and insults are one way to respond. I've been on Nostr over a year and love it, actually, and have some understanding of it, though I'm not a developer and could be called a "normie". I was just trying to give some possible constructive feedback in answer to the question. 
 sorry man i took the initial post to be asking for questions from people who were haters, not people who didn't understand the protocol or cryptography🤦‍♂️ now that the faq page is out, those were great additions🤝

glad you don't actually have those questions 🤣

 "not a hater but don't push me" doesn't sound like "i love it" lol  
 It was a poorly placed allusion to a line from a Tupac rap. I see how it could throw people off 😄 
 These questions are very good. Thank you. 
 You are welcome. Happy I could help. 
 As a very new adopter, I’m curious if our notes / comments are being seen? I’m nobody special so certainly don’t expect viral engagement. But how do new adopters distinguish themselves from spam bots( either mentally or protocolwise)? WoT is good, it helps me see who is more established and reputable vs scammers. But how does a someone new to the network build trust ?
