 Can you give some examples of what's incomplete in clients? Have you tried #Snort? What's missing?

I don't see any "serious spam issue" on #Nostr. Twitter on the other hand, is non-stop bots commenting on every post, non-stop spamming your DMs, and non-stop tagging notifications from scammers.

Rest of the issues you mentioned are valid tho. 
 I can agree on the difference in spam... Not to mention every other tweet seems like an add now. Maybe the experience is better if you kyc and pay. However here, I get almost zero spam, no adds, and much better engagement. Not to mention, I get mad props with zaps.

@Seth For Privacy your overall mission sounds different than mine, trying to find those who seek better privacy and lead the way. I'm trying to find all the Bitcoiners and create a unified and resilient culture around Bitcoin. Nostr is definitely the place to be investing time in building cultural capital because it is free and open. A true commons for free exchange of information.  
 Notifications for blocked users posts still appear. 
 Depends on the client you're using. For example, on #Snort, blocking a user will stop his notifications, while on #noStrudel you must use the mute option (it's unclear to me why we have both "blocking" and "mute" features and not just one). 
 That was on Snort, posts are blocked but not the notification which allows the spammer to somewhat bypass the block. 
 Stop à la critique déjà la critique de X, Threads, Bluesky ... pour  introductions sur nostr.. observez dans l'ombre , analysez, faites votre propre opinion, osez la critique, passez si certains sujets ne sont votre came.. évitez l'effet tendancieux de vouloir être comme les autres.. Soyez vous même, protégez son  territoire privé.. C'est le gars qui était fait son immersion de manière anonyme, qui a fait juste son feedback en donnant certains faits critiques sur nostr.. Pourtant la plupart des retours des adeptes  furent négatifs  hors ce ne sont des faits.. Sur nostr d'ailleurs nul besoin d'avoir un npup pour intégrer l'écosystème, l'analyser, participer.. '
