Nostr Web Client

the client doesn’t verify notes or read from relays. It is just a lite client that talks a proprietary api to their caching server. That server controls everything you see and could ban people and you wouldn’t know it. It’s against the entire ethos of nostr where users control what they see

i didn't know that about nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

so all those relays are just "decorative" ?

only caching service matters ?

I wonder if you can have no caching service and see what happens.

Yeah its mostly performative to make it seem like they are decentralized. They should label it “write relays” to be less scammy. Assuming they actually write to them…. If not then it’s super scammy.

It just won’t work. Because you can’t use Nostr outside of their walled garden. Try it.
