 It’s not. But let’s be real for a minute. Nostr is a technological innovation. It’s a pretty decent one. I like it. 

The problem isn’t technological though. It’s social. People got themselves where they are now. People will have to change. Giving a man trying to hammer in a screw a better hammer doesn’t solve his underlying issue. 
 Totally agree that nostr is a 90% a social challenge rather than technical.

And one way to solve it is for people to change their views and expectations on social networks

However, I personally think their is another solution - keep things as close as possible to what they are right now in order to avoid having to change people minds and just do what we have now but slightly better and a bit differently

I think changing people minds is impossible but making nostr look more like a standard social network is not a popular opinion here :)
