Whoa! That’s basically what MSFT did
Never thought of it that way before
you first embrace nostr then extend it with features and make competitors unable to catch up then you extinguish it and isolate them from your walled garden which everyone uses, while shifting the blame to client devs, for example “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE GOOD SEARCH YET” this is already happening
In your opinion, whats the solution?
Stop using Primal and avoid any features meant to lock you into using Primal
🎯
Use NWC. Better than KYCing your npub

Primal is not a hill I want to die on. Just wanted to try the advanced search. The whole VC thing and pushing out competition is terrible though
Damus + coinos.io nwc
Why does this type of conversation always need to be an us vs them 🙄
Damus is very easy to use. It’s blazing fast. And the devs plan on making it even faster with nostrdb that they’re currently developing with notedeck
😂🫂
yeah, we have sound money now, and the everything protocol it just requires a strong enough hard core of small teams getting more coordinated with each other to maintain the freedom
Read the thread. Semisol is giving reasons why not to use primal
It’s basically using the same playbook as microsoft with the walled gardens
The issue is the walled garden. Not the advanced search. VCs do have a tendency of creating walled gardens to push out the competition
The caching relay, the KYC wallet. Maybe the tags also since they decided to implement the nips in a different way.
