You can’t use the system without an app and this system while provides some benefits also puts some constraints. Its not correct to say it mildly to review benefits without constraints How good nostr (and bitcoin too btw) is, its still very far from mainstream usage and requires huge efforts to move there. While some constraints may even not e solved, which could require UX shift which regular users might not like to do and this is a whole big threat to nostr that must also be addressed in every message if we want it to succeed Just imagine a regular user reads through all the hype, decides to join and loses something really important - it would be close to impossible to get them back

Sure, but all of this is just not relevant to what I was talking about. I was simply sharing the experience of using a social pk to sign in to services with, where my profile and details all just followed me around, and not having to ever "register" or hand over my email, make another random password that I might forget or lose, or use a password that I've used somewhere else and put myself at further risk. That system is far more convenient and safer for me and I'm saying that I like it. I never made any judgement about the extrapolations you maybe think I was implying? I agree with some of your points, just don't see how I made any claims about any of them.

You promote alby like this is the best tool ever existed on internet. And you can’t remove alby from your post because without it you will have to do the most inconvenient and insecure things - putting your pk into different unknown clients But alby currently is probably the worst part of nostr that ruins all the decentralization attempts. And while this could become a long debate — its way too irresponsible to mention alby without describing its risks
