 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?
