I messed around with Nostr Nostr Nests (npub1us9…q4g0) today to test the friction points.
I did indeed run into friction points, especially given my safety-minded view as a large account that doesn't keep track of every detail that's going on, but the active community there on a random Monday was great and helped me get in touch with them easily. With a slight bit of effort, it was easy to start talking with them and figure a few things out.
It felt a lot like Twitter/X Spaces. I had no audio issues. Pretty seamless. Not all that different from my first Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces experience where I was like, "what the fuck are we doing here?"
My only extra caveat was how to easily prove my identity without really thinking about it, and understanding the tech to make sure I'm not accidentally revealing my private key. So there's a bit of an assessment there.
If anything, my feedback was that I need Nostr protocols to help manage and sign my keys better. Keeping my private key secure while using my public key to get involved with things should be easier in the long run.
