Nostr is much better protocol for this despite the bitcoin slant. That being said, i only follow non-bitcoin cultists (except some nostr devs that are also bitcoiners) and the sheer variety and different use cases of the apps being made,that are actually up and running and working, is crazy. And every time someone comes up with a new app idea/client, i just go there and immediately use it with my same identity with one click. Also Nostr is not vc backed and many unrelated devs work based on their own ambitions mostly from donations and funding from https://opensats.org/ https://opensats.org/. Free Our Feeds, with much less money, could create a set of standard redundant general public relays that are not commonly added by all the bitcoiners to grow a userbase with unslanted eclectic content. For onboarding they shoudl create as service that combines creating a new account with assigning a domain-based handle and acting as an "nsecbunker" / event signer. This service has normal password and stuff that can be reset and stores the unchangeable public/private keys (also acts as a signer for events). To the user, the onboarding is just like email services: Pick a nostr name account host: you make an account with a name and password, then on each app you type in your handle and it directs to the nsecbunker software running on that provider that asks for your current password. If that service shuts down it's as easy as finng another oine and putting in your private key and your same identity keeps moving on, albeit your "handle" would be different. For smarter/technical users, they can just use an nsecbunker url or a signer extension. Honestly, a signer extensions (or app like amber) are like the best user experience but getting people to set up the app with a private key isn't a good experience yet.
