Nostr Web Client

This bothers me on two fronts.

1. As I stated before I don't like the idea that relays can delete old data -- it's a kind of temporal censorship.

2. I don't like the idea that relays are a kind of personal database that allow users to squirrel away their private data. There are plenty of other options for that.

I find it's useful for building a web of trust, and seeing followers for discoverability. but yeah it's optional I guess... can't imagine using a twitter-like client without it though.

I definitely want the web of trust. So perhaps you can descibe how kind-3 serves that purpose. The way I look at it, it's no better than a file containing pubkeys and petnames that I keep on my laptop.
