What we learned
The pitch works."An encrypted Discord with no company in the middle" lands. People repeat it back: "a full Discord, but on Nostr".
Voice and streaming win people over."Not a single person has reached for OBS, twitch, youtube, to stream to each other any more."
Whole groups are moving.Discord's ID checks and regional bans are pushing organizers over, and they bring their crews.
Notifications decide who stays.The #1 complaint in every source, every month.
Permissions block bigger communities.Read-only and announcement channels are the most-asked Discord feature.
Our wording draws fire, not the product."No host required" and "nobody can read your chats" invite rebuttals. Candor ends them.
