 I like ditto but there’s some things that need to change with it. It’s lacking documentation needed for third party folks to run a ditto server. It’s a work in progress, but something which is needed.  I think ditto servers need better user management. At the moment the only way to be “ON” a ditto server is to use that server for your nip-05. This feels like it’s overloading. 

I do like that it’s providing UI for relays, communities, and moderation reports. 

The other issue is that ditto right now is doesn’t help users creating nostr accounts, so users need to create an nsec/npub somewhere else, then come back to Ditto and register their nip-05 in order to join. It’s way too complicated for non-nostr users. I get why nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p doesn’t want to run an nsec bunker, but I think it needs a user authentication and authorization server which makes it easy for users who expect an email/password login easy with Nostr. Kind of like how crypto needed custodial exchanges in order to scale.
