Oddbean new post about login | logout Disagree. There is no shortage of valid criticism about nostr, but most of the criticism of it on 𝕏 definitely comes from a place of ignorance.
What’s valid criticism? Lack of content? Bitcoin nostr?
Lots of things, ranging from lack of client gif selection to confusing relay UX and poor user/content discovery.
So… just UX … not actual feasibility
If long-standing UX hurdles continue to be ignored and remain a roadblock to adoption, Nostr’s fundamental strengths won’t matter. Seems to apply to feasibility, no?
Content is a function of having more users. The reason you can’t discover it is because it’s not there. It has nothing to do with infrastructure. Relay model moving to outbox, will make managing “network settings” much easier. All of these things are complicated but solvable and are slowly being solved.
Completely agree, all solvable, but less convinced many of them are being tackled at all, nonetheless slowly.
It’s a misconception by people on the outside. We’ve been looking at onboarding since day 1. If it was all neatly available and easy to query it would already be here. Primal is leading the way in onboarding. The only reason it feels lacking is because of lack of content. Other social media onboarding far worse believe it or not. But their content makes up for everything.
