 I think learning was the simple point Huw was making, no? How do people learn? By reading/being educated (and of course by being burnt by the old ways to force a mindset change). Learning usually translates into easy to understand plain English content (alongside word of mouth) which could be included during the onboarding process of a nostr client/app. (Maybe why nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 was calling for nostr diagram submissions?). You’re not changing nostr, just using an opportunity to educate/explain and facilitate self-learning and understanding of Nostr (thereby reinforcing their purple pilling). Obviously, content about the nostr protocol is growing across the board anyway so perhaps it’s not so important now (but surely every opportunity should be exploited to spread the word). Speaking of which, one that needs improving is the Wikipedia entry for the nostr protocol. It’s pants! Yes, Wikipedia is often viewed with disdain but I’m sure a lot of “newbie/normie/plebs” use it as a starting point. (I’m going to look into that).
