If we really want more people to move to Nostr, we have to be honest: as long as Nostr clients are full of bugs, and private key management + signer apps are this complicated, adoption will stay limited to technically skilled users. Most people simply won’t tolerate broken flows or confusing security models. The client apps still need a lot of refinement and stability work before we can realistically expect broader, non-technical adoption.

I don’t want more users. The bugs you mention are the filters. Signers also. Nostr is a proof of work game, like bitcoin. You can’t save everybody. If you can’t eliminate ze bugs, embrace them. Find the least bugy client and live a slow life. Lower your time preference and be happy. Nostr is ~six years old by the way. Peace

Your point is valid 🙏 Some prefer Nostr to stay small; others wish to share its values with more good people who may not be easy with tech. The common ground is the same: being tired of Web2 and wanting to connect in a healthier way. Ideally, the “filter” for who belongs here won’t be bugs or complicated usage. Nostr already has very strong natural filters: understanding and using Bitcoin, and being willing to curate your own social space instead of relying on algorithms. Those are high bars by default. Because of that, it’s hard to imagine “low-effort” participation here — only people aligned with these values will realistically join and stay. The real question is what kinds of filters we consciously build, so more people can coexist without breaking what makes this space valuable.
