Lucas, we‘ve built Primal for convenience. We KYC to a custodial wallet partnered with Strike, for convenience. We collect query information to improve search performance.
You need to realize that for Nostr to grow, there needs to be familiar and convenient methods for normies. Otherwise, users will go to a place like Damus and never see the real potential of Nostr. The whole “Nostr is decentralized” phrase isn’t going to work.
Nostr is not just a place for privacy and decentralization freaks. It’s a place for everyone to connect and build their platforms on, however they choose.
Please, instead of just commenting on how devs need to do things, just do them yourself. You’ll realize that you’re not right about everything.

1. That's unnecessary
2. From everything I've observed, using Damus or Amethyst seems to give users a better understanding of Nostrs potential. And I have already onboarded multiple people to use nostr because they grew sick and tired of centralized platforms. That phrase DID work.
3. We all know it's a place for everyone to connect. That ain't news. It's our job as a community to teach them why privacy and decentralization is vital to their livelihood. Something you are not doing.
4. I'm not a developer. I never said I believe I'm right about everything. Show me where I said that. I'm only commenting because user feedback is important and Primal devs don't seem to care about such a thing.
And yet, many wallet providers don’t KYC.

Where have I heard this before? 🤔
Google, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon... the list goes on.
