Looks like nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 has gone paid accounts only!

Due to abuse on the free web uploader without any auth, you must log in

Makes sense.

Maybe it’s time for the end of the era of “free” social media.

And so much about "free web"

You can host your own photos.

Or I can just use another provider.

Right...Freedom.

Freedom is not free beer

I know but the plans is way too expensive if you're not a content creator. I'd be in if there were a "casu nostriche plan" with just 1,5GB for like 6000 sats/year.

I bought one because I like the project. I basically use it like a better google drive. I suspect that you're paying in other ways when you use the free stuff. Although it is definitely not worth it for most casual users.

They've done great fine-tuning their product and I hope they continue to succeed.

Same, I want this to exist in the world and don't have the coding chops or time to do it myself so I pay them - feels like a win - win for me at least.

I love the metadata stripping that it offers. There are some features that could be improved but being able to post images I can later choose to delete is a plus.

I didn't know they had strippers - I need to pay them some more!!! : )

I just love seeing all of this growing out of the "cracks" of society - feels so Darwinian or something.

$6? for a year ? seriously?

How much storage does free has ?

Or used to have..

21MB

So yeah definitely not going to bother with login for that. Something like 2GB for 12K sats/year plan would be resonable considering I could wish to upgrade later.

12k sats/yr = $1 a month lol.

Just stick with the free service built into the apps

Might create a free one ☝️

Have fun looking at CP all day trying to figure out a way to filter it

Yeah…I think they made the right call here.

Will add AI to do the CP

You are legally obligated to review each case and report

Fuuu!

Also you must still look at manual reports and even do some level of proactive monitoring

Fook

This happened because I found out about it last week & was going to start using it this week. 🫠

My bad. 🤙

No, it’s questionable content

So it's still free, but you just have to log in?

Still feels like I should work towards setting up my own Blossom server though. 🤔

I'd rather pay to host my own content so I never have to worry about using a service that becomes paid somewhere down the road due to operational costs.

Yeah

Or you can just pay for the service that does it all for you… you pay with your time and the cloud server you use for hosting your blossom server

It used to be free to the world, non-nostr people were abusing the service, now it’s just free to Nostr people. Still fair. Hosting your own server is highly recommended, please feel free to use any of our code on GitHub.

I’d love a lesson in self-hosting my own NB instance.

You’ve probably seen this, it’s a start but not a deep dive..

If I already have a shared web hosting server, can I simply deploy it there? Doesn’t seem like I need to use AWS if it’s just for my own content?

Wonder how clients that are relying on it for free upload will adapt. I never understood how nostr.build could afford to do this.

It’s still free but you must log in now.

I don’t mind paying for it.

I paid for my account so I guess that means I’m part of the special club wahoo

You can still upload images and videos without an account through the NIP-96 client connection. The upload is just for one item at a time, but you get a nostr.build URL to access the item. Not sure how long they keep them, though.

Also if you are using an app uploads are free and seamless

Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering when this was going to happen.
