Bitcoiners alienating everybody else who would use it, with cult like fanaticism. This is why people think nostr sucks

The doom and gloom of this twitter thread says it all: that’s what they love and won’t let go of.

1-Ux/Ui not attracting normies. Basically always remaining a niche a bit like Fediverse is. 2 - The possibility of too many Nips making the protocol more complex and less interoperable. Although I think these are the main obstacles I think the underlying ease of the protocol and the open network nat...

Being able to find ‘your people’ quickly and seemlessly for new users. Relays are fine but for most new to nostr / damus, they don’t mean much. - there’s no easy search to find channel/topic relays - it’s difficult to curate your own feed - Sats over likes is great, but clunky. Tapping ...

Difficult to find others will similar interests (outside of Bitcoin and nostr itself)
