If Nostr succeeds, relays will need viable financial models (e.g., user fees or data monetization). As profitable businesses, relays would then be incentivized to maximize, not limit, note volume. IMO

As long as the fediverse offers free servers why would anyone pay to use a nostr server?

We need a donation model.

There is no such thing as “free servers” once you scale, whether it’s fediverse or nostr.

I said donation model. And free from the users perspective.

There is no viable donation model for a network of relays serving millions of users. If nostr succeeds, relays will have to become profitable.

The fediverse already serves millions of users via donations.

I don't see any reason why not.
