Nostr Web Client

I'm curious to see what this web of trust relay is. I might install one and check it out.

Honestly I think it's only a temporary solution and as we can see it didn't work from the beginning you had to add what you call a "retard" list.

So it fixed the problem? What happens as more users join nostr. I'm talking millions and billions. So it means you as the admin have to spend time managing all the profiles and seeing which ones are spam or not? Why would you spend your precious time managing the profile and relay.

Didn't Bitcoin teach us "don't trust, verify"

You guys are over thinking the solution to spam.

You don't know what it is or how it works but you conclude we are over thinking it?

Your statement is correct. I am merely making an assumption without actually investigating it but in this assumption I am fairly correct that your relay didn't stop spam at the beginning so my conclusion seem to be on to something that the solution was overthought.

I made my assumption because you used the word "trust" in your relay and from past experiences and even Bitcoin we know that we cannot trust most people. We can't trust them because:

a) they will actively absue the service

b) they are "retards" and will follow profiles thinking they are real people.

My gut feeling was correct which now makes me want to investigate this "retard' function to see it is merely a step into the administrators dictating whether a profile is legit or not without knowing if it is legit or now.

Seems like the whole thing is overthinking it.
