I said it many times and I'll say it again: Please consider the friends-of-friends!
Have paid users. These are tier 1. Their follows are tier 2 etc. Put limits on each tier independently. For example:
tier 1: Just like all the other paid relays
tier 2: No more than 5 mentions per minute. No more than 20 events per hour or 100 per day. Events get deleted after a month.
tier 3: 5 mentions per hour. Event gets deleted after a day. No back-dating. No links. ...

This is awesome, I’ve always been interested in the pyramid invite system like with lobste.rs
I had never seen this idea. It's pretty good. I'll make it. Not sure if this year or the next.
Kinda already have this with strfry-policies. We check if an npub was a paid user before applying rate limits.
We will do foaf this year!
Nevermind, we're doing foaf now and have 3 tiers
- paid members
- foaf
- untrusted
We have tighter rules for untrusted and paid member notes don't get purged. Might do a blog post on it later if anyone's interested
Thanks nostr:npub1gm7tuvr9atc6u7q3gevjfeyfyvmrlul4y67k7u7hcxztz67ceexs078rf6 for the extra encouragement here (and the whitelist set PR, which I used)
Interesting to see what sort of economy will emerge out of that. Of course relationships *between* relays exist too and spam concerns arise. The nostr hivemind might yet end up solving the age-old problem of putting a price tag on 'information'.
