I'm wondering if maybe it would have been better for the attack to have been announced prior as a stress test of some sort. Maybe then, with some heads up, people wouldn't now be so angry about it. I don't really know where I fall on this but I definitely see the better arguments coming from the "It was bad" camp. I see the utility of it, but I can't help but feel that the anger over it is completely justified. Fumbled ball for sure.

Hard disagree. We've been complaining about these vulnerabilities, ad nauseum, and they just ignored us. They have known about all of the problems and they simply refused to fix them because fixing things doesn't get you street cred, around here. If the test had been pre-announced, they would have just told everyone that it's just a test and to ignore it and come back in two days. Everything is kept buggy and sloppy because of the small market, but that just gave us all a taste of the sort of market we want to aspire to be, and the quality that we need to produce to service that market. They only responded because it created mass-chaos and they weren't emotionally prepared and they had no idea how long it would last and everyone freaked out. That was needed, to break through their lethargy. I repeat: THESE WERE KNOWN ISSUES, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THEM. Give the ReplyGuy a 🏆 . Nostrich of the year, as far as I'm concerned.

Nostr is mostly broken. That it works at all is a miracle. There's are those who are fixing things, but they are not who you know about unless you pay close attention. nostr:nevent1qqsds59pwts4uy85vtz97dccvp9w0fj55u83ppjwm007cv7f3gclelqprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7q3ql5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqsxpqqqqqqzxk00rj
