Are these “normies” in the room with us right now? 

 Not at all, I ranted too much so the intention was lost.

If you’re going to post a Nostr service somewhere like HN or any other non-Nostr aware place you have to expect that they will criticise. You hit “login” and you’re greeted with a pattern of authentication you’ve never seen before. Yes it can be googled but as a user you would expect some level of signposting to where you can learn more. 

 you can't give somebody freedom dumb fuck

freedom must be taken  

 I agree with that, and I agree that UX specialists here have an enormous contempt for the common man, which is ridiculous and absurd.
