 It’s not that the people replying weren’t friendly and welcoming.  And we have lots of people who are interested in music or photography on Nostr. It’s how he felt “this place isn’t for me” rather than, “oh this is how I find the music and photography people”

And I think all of the replies made Nostr seem complicated and overwhelming. Just like how most people never change a single setting in the software they use. We’re a community of tinkerers and early adopters. Folks who want something that “just works” aren’t going to want to read more onboarding instructions or spend a bunch of time learning how nostr works.
