- can't announce what content types your handling
- very naive identifier that's tied to DNS relay address
- not one group ever migrated
- 100% set up for copying telegram/discord UX/UI that doesn't work here
- the actual moderation is shady not transparent relay side
- join flow for users doesn't work for anything other than channels (and 100% of clients are not interoperable on this even)
- dead parts of the siec that zero client has ever implemented (roles...)
- try anything beyond one channel and it's a mess
- best builder on it just left Nostr
- etc...
Went into much more detail in many of my older posts/articles/....
TLDR: we can't build the communities we need with it fir Zapstore (for example).
So we're building communities on a set up that does work for us AND can let people add/migrate their existing chat rooms to it.
Bringing our forum to nip29 on the other hand is a no-go. Which kinda makes the point.
