Large relays boycotting Jack's notes is the only way to promote the small relays Jack is posting to. Otherwise, the notes get scraped by blastr and reposted to the large relays, obviating Jack's selections.

well, that's an interesting strategy, its quite funny how we run experiments around Jack so casually here lol. i guess big relays can do it out of goodwill for a certain period but might be tough to convince all.
Anyone reached out to nostr:npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c ? She runs nos.lol and nostr.mom and has also patiently answered all my stupid tech question over the year. I am guessing she might be game as she likes to try new things. But you guys might be better off talking to each other - I'll be the connector. If nostr:npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c is game, then let's try speaking to another big relay player after this.
It might be an interesting experiment short term, and might get some people to support gossip, but long term we can't stop blastr, we have to be better than blastr. The real way forward is relays figuring out their own authentication and retention policies.
I removed all (that i know of) blastr relays
If i may? Please correct me if am wrong.
If people boycotted your post, I assumed
A. The post has little value of meaning to be spread.
B. He should has his own relay rather than promoting any others.
It is unfair to promote large ones while leave small one themselves, so be supportive to none of them is better than be accused as unfair.
