Nostr Web Client

If they offered them "res publica" (to the larger public), then those would indeed be public relays.

Those would probably be the most-restrictive relays, tho, not the least-restrictive ones.

Getting away from public relays was the entire point of building Nostr. 🤷‍♀️ Public relays _have_ to censor, as the people running them answer to the larger public and can't host anything the majority of the sovereign would find overly offensive.

The goal of Nostr is actually to have lots of different, easily-created and easily-maintained PRIVATE relays, where the person running it just answers to himself and any customers he might have, rather than needing to achieve some wider consensus.

Hi, Silberengel. Question from a layman :) : I just saved your post in my local computer, via a link from njump. Do posts on njump and the corresponding links have future durability, will they remain available for consultation? What guarantees this?

Every event you save to your computer is durable, for as long as you store it. Same as every event saved to anyone else's computer, including the one hosting the njump relay.

The best thing, is to have a local relay or database, hooked up to your client, and save a copy of everything you find interesting. Then you can always find the original, signed note, even if the internet link is eventually broken.
