SN is winning as a great bitcoin integrated community experience. It is winning as a site that hosts diverse topics (at least much more than it used to) and is winning as a place to have overwhelmingly thoughtful and positive discourse online, which is rare these days.
It is losing in ease of use and losing in the ability to attract and retain users. Love SN, just calling it like I see it.

I think those of us who have been around for a while are like the proverbial boiling frogs. We saw the various changes as they rolled out and adapted easily enough.
When I was getting a couple of people onboarded from nostr, I realized there's a fair amount of stuff to do to get going and find the content you'd be interested in.
A quick interactive guide would be useful for newcomers.

I should have kept track of everything that went into those back and forths.
I think some of it had to do with site navigation and some had to do with connecting wallets or nostr profiles.
It would be a good exercise to walk a smart non-bitcoiner through the setup process and note all the points of friction.

I find it very easy to use. I’ve noticed that if you’re too lazy to read, you won’t get along with its layout. I can definitely see how that makes it harder to retain new users.

That's why I said it's easy to use. We agree. There are many other posts here besides the ones in the guide and FAQ that are excellent for beginners. I recommend it:
