It’s fine once you’re set up, have a contact list, some good relays connected etc. it’s pretty crappy starting out on the normie big relays not knowing how spammy they are and not having a good contact list.
But sometimes replies don’t load. Sometimes reposts aren’t found etc. turning on outbox mode these days pretty much guarantees a slower and less pleasant experience.
I don’t know if the microblogging use case was a great first use case for nostr idk tho Here I am.
