I am not sure it is true that people will move away when they are not newbies anymore, people tend to stick to the first app they use.
Now imagine if primal has a big chunk of the network and it is taken down by gov, what will this do to Nostrs reputation? I am not sure myself maybe the damage won't be big because people will just download a more decentralised client, but then why not use a decentralised client from the start?
Why not just focus on the decentralised direction and improve that? If we can't create a good user experience that way we might as well just give up.

The "no different from twitter" is a bit of an exaggeration perhaps, at least on some aspects of Nostr, I agree.
I am personally a big user of primal as well despite it having centralised tendency.
But we must be open about it and clear and voice our concerns so that the devs steer development in the correct direction.
And by the way the "use other clients" is not a good argument, if primal becomes the biggest client no one will build other clients. What we should do is use the decentralised clients and improve the protocol for better experience instead of going centralised.

The whole point of Nostr is removing centralisation, a server is hosted by someone, this is centralised.
We should focus on making relays efficient instead.

Just throwing ideas out there.
Project ideas for potential full or partial funding by Angor's accelerator:
1. Ecash/Fedimint: Implement the Angor protocol on an ecash system, which supports bitcoin scripting.
2. Nostr Site Browser: Create a censorship-resistant web browser that renders websites using a Nostr pubkey rather than relying on URLs and centralized DNS. Nostr can store static web files, enabling this decentralized approach.
3. Liquid Chain Support: Deploy Angor on the Liquid chain. Which has a similar scripting language, Liquid is suited for smaller projects that don't require significant funding. The consistent low fees make it a viable option and for holding smaller amounts of Bitcoin liquid is perfect for that.
4. Liquid-based Zaps (Laps? Or Splash): Develop a feature similar to Nostr's Zaps but powered by the Liquid chain instead of Lightning. This would enable seamless tipping and micropayments within the Liquid network.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, a relay sits behind a url.
However, you cannot argue Nostr is not decentralized due to relays, take a relay down others will be setup, you cannot stop the sharing of information by taking down relays.
