There's a lot of basic functionality missing that users expect from social media. Handling of media is a huge one. 16 MB avatars and master quality video are handled gracefully by centralized platforms. Nostr doesn't have this at the protocol level, and client & server devs can never agree on anything so I fear it's unlikely to get better anytime soon. I imagine video will be solved sometime after DMs are finally fixed 🤣

perhaps. the great @99069458…bffdc915 has said that nostr is a 10 year project. i'd like to think he's wrong here, but if he isn't, that means we are only about half way there if you count from the original whitepaper. i think divine is going to light a fire under all of our asses and there's nothing like an emergency to get our devs building.

Yes it's sad I agree 😢 So much promise, but devs continually want to reinvent the wheel rather than looking at solutions that exist and work already.
