All of the social UI is designed to increase time in app to sell more ads. In order to sell more ads the UI has been gamified a bit - all the counts, the algorithm in turn being driven by counts… Then there’s the infinite scroll and the fact that people can’t see the content they want to see.

Theoretically Nostr solves this but not by adopting the same corporate UI.

I think integration with the wider web is cool but I would personally want to change the motivations through a different UI before heading to the wider web with Nostr. There are some exceptions- whoever was building electronic health records on Nostr assuming they could figure out the encryption part is spot on. But that’s not social per se.
