Catering to the dumbest of the dumb is a straw man argument. And it always has negative consequences. Just think a few steps ahead. What do normal users deal with? A username and password combination like

dumbFerret : myPet123

On Nostr the equivalent would be

npub1983hifi24jb8248t3r... : nsec189df2487dcwjz3dg...

It's basically not much different. It just looks a bit more cryptic on Nostr. And that scares off "normal" users? Can't they just put it in a password manager?

If so, then we're really dealing with the dumbest of the dumb. And what happens then? When we've got the dumbest of the dumb users on here?

The discussions get dumber.
The arguments too.
We've got more pigeons shitting on the chessboard.
We've got no consensus anymore.
No people who understand language, who still know the definition of words.
=> We've got Twitter/X!

Is that what we want? At any cost? If so, my next question: Who benefits from it, who profits from it? Follow the money and you know where this nonsense comes from.
