Seems only reasonable. We can’t expect you to carry that indefinitely.

#[3]​, would there be a reasonably straightforward way for individuals to spin up a nostream relay and transfer/offload their historical notes from larger relays like Damus?

The imminent expiration of notes from large relays might serve as a good incentive to run one’s own.

there are dozens of free and open source relays, no need to wait for anyone or anything.

no shade to nostream - just clarifying this is a thing a motivated individual can do today.

Motivation is relative to skill level. I’m talking about for normie users. Not everyone can work a CLI.

I think the key here is "straightforward".

Imagine a site where you type the address of one relay and the address of another and it just copies your events for you.

Of course any sufficiently motivated or tech savvy individual could do it. It’s not up to Nostream to facilitate this but we could help.

totally agree - that sort of frictionless site would be great.
