I really dislike the idea of nostr trying to become the everything app because it feels like instead of just reinventing the wheel, devs are trying to reinvent the whole damn car and I think that is just unnecessary. I think if we strip nostr down to what its original purpose was supposed to be, a Twitter alternative, It worked perfectly fine. Relays were relatively simple to deploy, and clients only needed to do so much. But now we have people wanting nostr to do everything, and things aren't as simple. People are gonna say, "Well clients don't have to implement everything." That may be true on paper, but in practice, the majority effectively dictates what's required. Videos, torrents, streams, a reddit alternative, etc. don't belong on nostr in my opinion. Those should be spun off into independent projects. Things like relay-specific notes end up siloing discussion topics and ultimately make them no better than fediverse instances. I'm not a developer, nor am I a software engineer, but it looks to me that nostr has failed to be simple. But I'm just a single, imperfect, person. — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp978pfzrv6n9xhq5tvenl9e74pklmskh4xw6vxxyp3j8qkke3cezqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxgh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdqy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxvhxgmmjv9nxzcm5dae8jtn0wfnsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9ejx7unpveskxar0wfujummjvuqq6vfhxy6nqvf3x5mrgvf5xqwa25vr
