I don’t want to deal with any of that stuff.

Interesting 🤔

No you missed my point, the stuff that I said Nostr isn't dealing with is relative consistency that allows apps to give users an experience they expect from social media apps. So saying that you don't want to deal with the price of perpetual ledgers is irrelevant... Bluesky doesn't have any kind of ledgers at all, they solve it with extreme centralisation, similar to Primal, which is why I literally have to come to Primal every time I need to actually see if I have notification faster than waiting for 2 work days and then miss many. I am not saying this is something everyone should want, I repeatedly said that this is a problem that I don't care about much and prefer direct chat apps. But if you want to build a broadcast network, with the UX of social media, then sorry, but having a solution for reliable and quick propagation of data to the indexers is not optional. When you say that most Nostr folks don't care about that, then yes I believe you, because like me they just use it as a note taking app with little expectations of reach or engagement. But I figured it is useful to explain these choices and tradeoffs so I wrote about them.
