“Reasons to Run Your Own Relay

As a normal user of a Nostr client there's no obligation to run a relay. But having your own relay does give you more power.

For my own journey down the #nostr rabbit hole, I was looking for a relay to:

back up my notes

decrease spam

increase my privacy

learn skills I could later use for running a community or team or paid relay

Backing up notes – When you post notes to a public relay there's no guarantee that the relay is going to keep them long-term. It's job is relaying your notes to other clients, not storing them. Running your own relay allows you to keep your notes online.”
