how about make every user buy his own relay in some data center for say $10 a month.

that way you have total control over all your data. you can edit your posts, delete them, whatever !

other relays act as backup but there is one master relay for every user, which they directly control.

if a person can't make a minimal commitment like that then there is a 100% chance they are of no value to the platform to begin with.

lurkers will be allowed to read content without having to get a relay but won't be able to post.

on other hand with your own relay you can post ANYTHING ( 10 hour videos etc. ) because it's YOUR server and you aren't subject to anybody's rules.

from experience of having my own site having control over your content is pretty huge. the ability to go back to a post i made years ago and fix broken links etc. two things my site is missing is

1 - it isn't federated

2 - can't upload videos ( haven't tried anyway )

whereas what NOSTR is missing for me is also two things

1 - can't edit

2 - can't upload videos ( haven't tried anyway )

essentially NOSTR is a decentralized censorship resistant alternative to Twitter as it existed a decade ago ...

but our goal should be not to replace a niche platform from a decade ago but to replace the entire internet just like Andrew Torba is trying to do with GAB
