> You are basically saying you want a centralized system. If you like Primal, you should just use X or Bluesky.
You assumed I use Primal for their curated content — I don’t. I just found out they even do that, which only proves the point I was making. And you’re not the only one who missed it.
It’s funny how often devs, when faced with feedback they don’t like, default to “if you don’t like my toy, go play with the other crappier ones.” The irony is those “crappier” ones usually work better, they simply choose different tradeoffs. Trying to steer user behavior through shaming or condescension rarely works.

It is easier to write centralized software than decentralized software. So many services are going to cheat and make a “Nostr” client that is centralized. You say this “usually works better” but it is actually subverting the entire point of Nostr, and delivering it into the hands of the government.
Subversive behavior deserves to be treated with contempt. If you aren’t willing to put up with a mild inconvienence for freedom, why not just use Twitter or Facebook at that point? Making a censored and filtered version of “Nostr” is not a tradeoff. At that point, it isn’t Nostr, it is a fraud.
