“Trusted relays” sounds super sus.
Discussion
Possibly. Less toxic if I’m the one deciding for myself what relays are “safe.”
Bullshit if anyone else is deciding for me.
That’s how it works for most ppl tho, the app developers decide what relays are “safe” and they’ve proven to be against free speech.
Yeah well watch this space. First hint I get of a client doing that I’ll be publicizing it very loudly.
Most censorship on nostr happens on the client level and Amethyst is the biggest perpetrator.
I know. Bought a different phone partly over it. I fought on your side of that one.
I’ve been super lazy and haven’t even looked into other clients yet. I’m thinking primal is the best browser one?
It’s a toss up. Snort is on the cutting edge for browser based, uses gossip model for relays, etc. I found disabling the image proxy or running my own helped - I think Kieran’s gets pretty slammed.
Iris is very clean but lacks emojis and a few kinda common sense things since the redesign.
Primal is nice, but I don’t like the way the feed works. That’s just subjective opinion though. It seems to function well.
I have one in the works written in Blazor Webassembly but it’s early days.
satellite.earth is nice. Have you tried it?
Depends on how a relay is determined as "trusted" in regards to the network; if done by community consensus, there's at least a good level of transparency in how the community views a relay operator and their conduct.
App developers and those who have (or has, if not sufficiently pushed back for it) advocated for and created censorship tools for Nostr deciding this is a terrible fucking idea.
I’m not sure what you mean but relays should just publish their policies and let ppl decide whether to use them or not. Consensus shouldn’t be a part of this.
My statement boils down to "trusted relays as a concept, depending on execution, is either good or terrible" and I lean towards community crowdsourcing of opinion as the best way to execute on that concept.
Although transparent policy listings aren't a bad idea either.
Crowdsourcing rules for speech is a terrible idea.
