I think running your own personal relay is a great way to control your own backup of all your events.

For me personally, I don’t want a backup of all my events at all and wouldn’t care if they all disappeared tomorrow. I’m more concerned about maintaining my reach and ability to see the content I care about.

What are some other good reason to run your own personal private relay?

You could run your own filter relay that hides behind a VPN or other network and pulls down notes from other relays. Then your clients could connect to your personalized filter relay from anywhere and you know your IP and location are private from all the other relays.

True! This is a cool use case but if you start pulling from/broadcasting to too many relays this becomes a technical and resource challenge (and we’d know!)
