"The whole 'Nostr is decentralized' phrase isn’t going to work."
This is being said by a guy whose employer is actively maintaining a product that serves as the anthesis to Nostr in every single way, and when called out on lying about basic privacy features and default options, defers to "muh open source code" and wants the community to do the work THEY get PAID to do (or in this case, not do) in order to make the client do what it's being claimed to.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
Lucas, we‘ve built Primal for convenience. We KYC to a custodial wallet partnered with Strike, for convenience. We collect query information to improve search performance.
You need to realize that for Nostr to grow, there needs to be familiar and convenient methods for normies. Otherwise, users will go to a place like Damus and never see the real potential of Nostr. The whole “Nostr is decentralized” phrase isn’t going to work.
Nostr is not just a place for privacy and decentralization freaks. It’s a place for everyone to connect and build their platforms on, however they choose.
Please, instead of just commenting on how devs need to do things, just do them yourself. You’ll realize that you’re not right about everything.
