You're right. I don't know you, and I am not at all familiar with the tools you have built. I am simply addressing the content of your original message.

You also don't know me. I happen to be one of the folks quite willing to sacrifice my time to learn and explore new technologies and tools. I run my own node and use it as my daily-driver for lightning. I run a few of my own Nostr relays, mainly just to try out different implementations. I self-host my own media server for personal use, and my own Blossom server for images I post to Nostr.

However, I also know that I am not like most people, and I am painfully aware of the hours and hours I have burned trying to get all of the above to work and stay working, even when following "30 step tutorials."

Where I will have to vehemently disagree with you is your statement that those who are too lazy to read through a 30 step tutorial deserve to be de-platformed. No one deserves to be de-platformed and Nostr should not just be usable by those who "deserve" it.

There is no reason why tools for self-hosting need to be less intuitive than centralized options. No one should NEED a 30 step tutorial to understand how to use something. It just shows it is poorly designed.

That's just my opinion, of course, and as I mentioned I am all too familiar with having to put in the work to understand how to use apps and tools that are not at all intuitive for the average person. I also spend a lot of time helping others here to understand many of those same apps and tools.
