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.

metadata and follows (kind 0 and 3) are not only private data. Both are vitally important to build a social network.

I understand why kind:0 is vital to a social network (although there are challenges such as the five fiatjafs).

I do not understand why kind:3 is vital. As far as I can see kind:3 is equivalent to a file on my laptop. Unless, of course, I can query your kind:3. If the latter is the case, then #[8]'s web of trust starts to make sense.

Of course you can query kinds:[3] of other authors:[32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245].
