Replying to Burcgravius

So, a question on #nostr sustainability.

As time goes on, I'm guessing #relays will accumulate more and more shared notes and information, generally. Is there any agreed form of pruning? Because otherwise I feel relays might become oversaturated quickly, won't they?

I've been running the nostr21.com relay since December or so and it's database is only 8 gigs. When I dump it to json its only 3 gigs. Since it's all just text, I think storage prob won't be an issue for a long time.

Ohhh so you can setup a relay that only broadcast text or one that only broadcast photos?

Photos and videos are just links. So sites like nostr.build are what hosts those, not the relays themselves.

My understanding is that relays only have text. The images go to the services provider you have setup. E.g nostr.build

Oh that's way better than I expected, yeah.
