damus going freemium is gonna be a watershed for nostr becoming self-standing
it's kinda sad, if you ask me, that the establishment of nostr didn't think ahead about this
RATE LIMIT is NECESSITY even for PAID CUSTOMERS
customer paying does not have RIGHT to VIOLATE service rules.
ONLY RATE LIMIT MITIGATION can increase UPTIME/SLA
Remember when we celebrated nostr for not rate limiting normal user activity? Good memories

remember there were PATOSHI coins mined in 2009 and bitcoin faucet and airrops in 2010~12 era
remeber there was zapathon - ALL GOOD THINGS HAS EXPIRY when demand volume and abuse GROWS
Fuck them new nostr users who don’t have bitcoin to pay for paid relay access, am I right? Who needs em anyway.
its not about paid or free - its about who is ABUSING - attacking the service with what vector
also 100 paywall only will never bring any new normie users
there are relays that can paid with LTC XMR or swapping any coin - thats is also not the point here.
All I’m saying is that liking 5 notes within a minute shouldn’t cause someone to be rate limited. That’s not abnormal user activity. Mitigating spam/abuse is understandable. Making things unusable for typical user behavior is not. But you’re pedantic and you’re going to keep arguing so I’m gonna let you fuck off and I won’t be replying any more.
typical normal usage in that case will NOT get rate limited or never feel it as in meme if config is correct and npub is not trying to abuse
Unfortunately I cannot zap ⚡️
