A non techie way to build and maintain relays with all the possible features! This is in my head for so long but I wonder if that’s the way we’re trying to go.

So far how I understand relays it should be possible for everyone to create and maintain one.

Or do we expect that instead for example 1 out of 100 people have a server (like meta) to 10 out of 100? Or is at least 90 out of 100 the goal?

Happy reading your thoughts on this.

Running a relay is really easy. On TrueNAS you don't even need to go beyond the WebUI (at least I think). Local relay for you on your own network is not a problem even for non technical person. The trouble in my eyes is maintaining a public relay. Spam, moderation, rate limiting, illegal stuff, etc...

This could encourage people to care about where their stuff is saved. Getting in touch with relays really made me think. I like the idea of self hosting, I’m planning to get a NAS system. That’s just not the average. Not everyone got the capacity. And as soon as you need the terminal it’s getting difficult for non techies. But I trust Nostr that we will find a suitable solution :)

Oh yeah exactly. That’s truly a problem. Maybe AI will be helpful in the future to filter out the stuff nobody asking for.
