Nostr Web Client

this doesn't apply to running a relay

really it is about the client, i think?

there is no network if you let spammers determine the LCD of the equation

It depends. Relays are the Achilles' heel of nostr. They store and forward, often unencrypted, data. That makes them a target for censorship. It is a difficult, shifting target, but it does give governments someone to punish.

They can target authors of client software as well, but that doesn't stop the software from proliferating.
