Feel good post for all the devs with zero UX sense.

After spending more time of FB lately, I can confidently say (with some encouragement) that Nostr UX doesn't suck. Not at all. It's not uncommon to open the FB app to an empty feed with a grey blinking screen that stays that way for minutes. Or a notification indicator that says there has been activity but nothing new is displayed. Or a claim that replies exist that, despite rifling through "most relevant", "most recent", and "all", never appear. I'll have moderation requests show up for groups that I admin weeks-months after the request was made. Search is utterly broken. It's easier to search FB through Google than from within FB itself.

Beyond FB, my YouTube history doesn't show what I've watched until days after the fact. I'll delete emails 2-3 times from Outlook or Gmail before they actually disappear. Financial apps send me notifications hours to days beyond when they are pertinent. I could go on and on...

Most of this stuff is directly technology dependent and not related to their shitty business models or the algorithms that steer them or their stupid rules. It's all just broken experiences that people tolerate because they have no real recourse and too many reasons to stay.

Nostr isn't broken. Its quite nice, actually. Clients might have their quirks but you'd have to add all of those together to match just how awful big tech has become.
