People think im doing this to shit on primal all the time. Im so tired of this fight and its not my point. Im thinking about what would happen if certain ways of doing things took off and how it might affect the network. My beef is not with primal specifically, the point is the next big VC funded app with 100 devs could do this and it would amplify the badness by a lot

Primal is the canary in the coal mine. Itβs good to call them out as the example. And the app sucks. At least on iOS.
I have never lost a canary in any of my coal mines.
I talked to miljan last week and he said hes aware of the concerns. I suggested a degraded experience when the caching relay is down and still let people read from their relays. I think they will need to do it for a good experience unless they can scale their relay somehow and make it more redundant.
I made this in July 2023.
It has turned out more true than I thought 
This was before any of the Primal drama, btw.
So I go Primal Island. If they do something I don't like, I find another island. But I can vote with my feet and find a new island. Seems ok to me.
primal's interface is ugly af
also, it's quite notable that i almost never see people replying to miljan in my feed... funny that
itβs weird there is less fucks given about this issue. I suspect most [users] donβt actually grok the potential reality and the reason why the primal model i so suboptimal.
Shilled as easy onboarding for adoption. Itβs almost fiat. Path of least resistance. Most people do not consider the sacrifice made for convenience. This has been clearly demonstrated over last 15-20 years unfortunately
I try and get attacked for it. Just gonna give up. Seems like the number of people who care about this is dwindling by the day anyways.
attacked how? with words on a screen? Let them attack then
