I half disagree. People manage 'locations' in tonns of contexts for a variety of purposes. Their email is on one site (and they organize folders there), their chats are on this other app (and they organize things over there), etc. etc. etc.
Is the problem that users need to organize things? Or is the problem a lack of intuition/understanding and interfaces (a lack of understanding that exists among a lot of Nostr developers as well, seeing how some go about relays)?

Yea… You need to have pay some attention when you post a letter in the mailbox here 🇳🇱 watching the postal codes 🤨
I'm only against it until we have a super intuitive way to manage this stuff
Sounds like terrible UX, i am sure nobody ever used mail, ever. What user could ever be expected to figure that out!?¡!?¿‽
Well, i think my point is more on the side of 'if users understand what is going on in the first place, it does not matter how crap the interface is, they will just use the interface they have to perform the task one way or another'.
I get that as an app developer this is not of much use to you, but in general perhaps we need to stop pretending the first few waves of Nostr users (that are actually going to stick around and use it) are not retarded toddlers that can only manage when everything is reduced to a single button.
The second part of my point is that at this stage the ecosystem as a whole simply lacks understanding on the matter of relays. Now don't get me wrong, i am not blaming anyone, its all new, we are all figuring this shit out, its a new paradigm and surely we have not explored the territory fully anyway....BUT
I will say that a tendency to hide relays into the background is not helping. Don't be afraid of exposing the user of the scary new thing it does not understand yet, instead of shoving Nostr into the legacy app shaped box only because it is familiar to them.
But again, i don't have an app to take care of and users to please, i am just an armchair sideline asshole.
Also just to clarify to make sure there is no confusion, i did not have anything or anyone in particular in mind, so i was not talking about damus(dont have an iphone, never used it) or you specifically or anything, was just talking in general.
If people were sorting their emails into folders email providers wouldn’t be advertising auto sorting by category as an amazing new feature.
Most people don’t sort anything. They have 11,784 unread emails in their main folder and even if there was no automatic spam filter they wouldn’t notice. :D
