 Lately, I keep hearing from people who aren’t on Nostr yet, saying they’re waiting for it to “get better.” 

But if everyone keeps waiting, how can things get improved? We need people to dive in, engage, and help shape it.

On Nostr, you’re not just renting space on someone else’s platform, where they can control your identity and censor you. Here, you truly own your identity and your social graph which is so powerful. 
That’s why we need people like you now!

 in many ways the UI is better on Nostr. in every way we have complete feed control too here. I honestly don't see why people would wait when right now decisions are being made and new NIPs are being created. this building up phase is the best part.
 Amethyst has a fantastic UI (Android only).
