I think one of the challenges (especially for newcomers) with Nostr going forward stems from the “Dumb Servers, Smart Clients” approach.
Add a third layer: “Dumb users”. They sometimes struggle making sense of what’s what.
For example: which client do I use for long form notes, for blogs, for a TikTok/Instagram experience? If I use a client that doesn’t show me these things I might ragequit since I can’t see everything.
It’s happened to me. Some people would share some things on Damus, or Primal, and I’d have no clue what I’m looking at because that particular client didn’t render it correctly.
I’m as dumb a user as it gets.
