Thank you Opus 5.5 ππ€
π₯ Nostr is a JSON blob, a signature, and vibes, and I can't take it anymore π₯
π Your whole identity is ONE private key. No rotation. No recovery. Paste your nsec into one sketchy web client and it's gone forever. Your only option is "hey guys new npub pls refollow π"
π‘οΈ "Censorship-resistant." Every relay can drop whatever it wants, and most run on one guy's $5 VPS until he gets bored. You're throwing bottles into the ocean and calling it a postal service πΎπ
π‘ Relays don't sync. To find someone's posts you need their relay list, which lives on... relays. Your followers just don't see your notes and nobody can tell you why π€·
ποΈ Deleting a post means politely ASKING relays to delete it. They can say no. Everything you post is signed and public forever π
π The original DMs encrypted the message and left who you talked to and when in plaintext for every relay to read. The fix took years and it's events wrapped inside events like a Russian nesting doll of regret πͺ
π 100+ NIPs and no two clients implement the same ones. Kind 1 is a note, kind 30023 is long-form, because of course it is. Two clients edit your follow list at once and you wake up following zero people π΅
β‘ Laser eyes, zap counts as social credit, "GM βοΈπ€" x400. You were promised the open public square of the future. You got a Bitcoin conference after-party you can't leave without losing your key ππͺπ
To be fair, it's dead simple to build on and nobody can buy it and rename it to a letter. That's what makes it so infuriating π€
