Storing data on nostr relays is interesting.

In general nip formats you can store data in any relay.

Encrypted with nip-44 you can store on many relays.

But the catch: if it is not your relay, then expect

- that your delete requests are ignored

- that you are monitored by the relay, or profiled

- that anyone can get your data even if the relay says it authenticates

If you dont control the relay, you cannot make sure it adheres to protocol requirements.

Of course you can move to other relays, but make sure that you are fine with you can lose if the relay "betrays" you.

Shitstorm protocols to have are good!

It SHOULD NOT be used as a drop-in replacement for NIP-04 payloads 😅
