This was not a test of Nostr. This was a test of Nostr devs.

Look at your client coders and your relay operators. See how they're responding. This is information.

* Did they stay calm, or even chuckle about it or roll their proverbial eyes?

* Do they see an upside in the test, _even if they failed it_? Are they maybe even making plans to start running such experiments, themselves, in a test environment?

* Did they immediately announce ways for you to mitigate the problem, by adjusting your settings or switching to a different relay?

* Do they even really understand how relays work or why relays are useful to fight this sort of problem?

* Did they even notice the problem and act, or are they wherever, doing whatever, the whole time? (Some have still not noticed 🤦‍♀️ and others just permanently pulled down the relays they were passively hosting.)

* Are they still beholden to the "all relays have to store everyone's notes, regardless" mantra, or are they willing to man up and have an actual opinion of what they will -- and will not -- tolerate on their property?

* Are they whining, begging for mercy, or otherwise behaving like someone not in control of the situation, or faced with a problem that is beyond their capacity?

* If people were fleeing clients, which one(s) were they primarily fleeing? Those clients did not properly onboard those users, by over-obfuscating the infrastructure, so their users took the only solution open: THE EXIT.
