If you achieve it by putting a centralized censoring proxy in front of nostr, what have you actually achieved?

Answer: You've just parasitically coopted an organic social graph to enrich a bunch of ship-at-all-costs VC fucksticks.

the primal caching server is open source, anyone can run it, and its user configurable in the app

its not that different from relays, a server that distributes signed nostr events

furthermore users can easily use any other app since identity is portable

the idea that all nostr apps must read directly from a specific type of server is a weird hill to die on

Primal loads decently, I was just saying that Amethyst is catching up.

This is just in my anecdotal experience.

I’m sure by objective metrics primal probably loads faster.

Overall, I imagine that Vitor will probably add self-hosted tor caching if that’s a thing in a future update.

I’m just here on Nostr for fun.

its good that both amethyst and primal exist

the proxy is open source, you can run it yourself if you want
