Still, doesn't make a ton of sense to me.. if they are using a relay like a chat room.. but posting to 5 relays, wouldn't their other chat rooms become unreadable also? Something doesn't add up.

I’m not sure I understand. I lose context because I’m reading from relays with tons of other content in between their notes so I am very likely to miss the previous post (as it is outnumbered by non JP speakers). As long as you isolate JP relays, why would those be unreadable?
So even if all JP relays are in sync (which would be hard to do but, say they are) the feed would eventually be so large that the context would be lost.. Japan is #1 user of nostr last I checked.
If the JP relays are not in sync, then it makes even less sense because when they reply on one it just posts to the 5 other relays an out of context note.
They don’t have to read from all “5” relays simultaneously but relays are fairly in sync. We are talking ms differences.
I love our 🇯🇵 users but USA is #1 by a massive margin on nostr.
Ahh, yeah if they're only reading from one, that would help, but wouldn't they only write to one in that case as well? This is the mystery I'm trying to solve because I have a feeling it could be an unintended bug somewhere in their clients.
No, most clients allow you to turn off read for relays without turning off writes. That is the default behavior in global on Damus (can turn off read but not write).
Trust me, I’ve been watching this community for months. It’s intentional.
Right, but wouldn't that be weird for them? Like, they write to all relays, only read from one or two. What happens at the other relays? They get a bunch of out of context messages. So they must be using just one 'main' relay and not reading from any others I take it..
Thanks for the responses.. I am on a months long mission to figure this out eventually. Just gotta get the attention of someone in Japan that's willing to explain what they got going on over there 😅
