Nostr Web Client

What do ya'll think about paid relays and trying to find a "central" relay for a more "everyone's here" twitter like experience?

Managing all these damn different relays is a pain in the ass due to the inconsistent experience it provides... likes and posts are spread around different relays, etc. I'd rather just pay some thousand sats per year to wellorder or someone to compensate them for having a shit ton of nostr traffic... and would do so until they become authoritarian assholes and then we'd all move someplace new. Obviously we'd have flexibility to use whatever other relay perhaps for specific content or friends, but I wish the community could somehow figure out a central hub built on this awesome decentralized platform.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think nostr.wine filter does something like this. It will publish and pull from the free relays, but filter spam. At least that's my understanding of it.

Thanks #[3]

You can read more about it here: https://filter.nostr.wine

We want to keep nostr decentralized, not move to one giant hub. Filter is a way to use only 1 relay on the client side but receive and publish to 10+ large public relays at all times.

You can choose to filter content based on either your follows+their follows or use the global=all parameter to open your network further. It’s all in the readme! Let me know if you have questions.
