Nostr Web Client

have you noticed nostr got a lot quieter in the last weeks? if you did, its probably because your notes are being rejected by naieve throttling on ALL the big relays.

you wont notice it when you post because clients dont surface this info to you, for all you know just nobody liked your post, but the reality is it did not post.

Damus appears to be the only one rejecting my events right now. That might be because noStrudel doing something fancy like pushing the latest version of replaceable events if it detects damus serving older versions of my follows profiles for example.

ya, im sure you could also get perpetually silenced if someone reposts your old notes too..

What? If I post your old events to relay, relay will reject your new events? I don't think so. Rate limiting should apply to the connection and not to the author.

its both

in fact its mostly by pubkeys because most relays cannot tell what youre doing on your connection, its all websocket messages.

I realized it had to be both but that's also a DOS attack vector to silence specific people.
