> Your handle is familiar from Reddit ๐Ÿ‘‹ That's because I have a Reddit account. Yeah, that's me. The issue with Primal is much of what it does is decentralized. And some of its features don't even use the Nostr protocol. It's, at least in part, a centralized platform that happens to use Nostr as a database. > I'm not against moderation as long normal users are aware what is going on. I think users should be fully in control. I know I am because I am using my own client right now, so I know what it does, because I wrote it. I'm not arguing everyone should write their own client, but everyone should be nearly in as much control as if they did. In general, I think it would benefit the ecosystem if users of Nostr knew well how it works. The better they know and understand it, the better.

I haven't checked on Primal for a long time, I mean specifically their caching server, I know they also require an email for a wallet, it is a complied version of Nostr, or a platform that happens to use Nostr as you said, it is a business and I'm totally fine with that, but I will never be their user. Some users will only want to use something like that, and at the end of the day they still own their keys and can always just use another client. Building my own client too, fully client side and will not use a special server, has to be smart because relays are dumb.
