Not everything should be on relays. Only data you want public
Discussion
Aren't you the same Ben the Carman than is making a whole Wallet API extension to transfer a lot of very sensitive wallet information via a Nostr relay? I am confused.
It's encrypted
I know. That's generally how people put private information on relays. Relays are not only for public data.
And don't forget private relays.
What’s the difference between a local private relay and a local database?
A database in a server doesn't store signed events and can be changed by the server at any time.
Users that use private relays are generally the controllers of such relays and or have ways to decide which apps get access to them and how to move the data to another private server.
It's about allowing the user to decentralize from that specific app by simply moving events between relays.
Not even private relays? Shouldn’t you be responsible and have both?
I don't think many people run private relays
I’m not sure why not , I use it to create a VPN so I can load all my music , , couple 100 gigs , and still not done loading my photos into All sorts of apps like woogle , llama gpt and what not , sure you can use one for your banking but dang , instant access on all your devices from anywhere to all your stuff is hard to beat,,, #nostr fixed so many things for me so fast and it keep on
