Nostr Web Client

When someone tells you that Nostr is just a Twitter alternative, tell them that our developers are literally rebuilding the Internet.

wat. it seems to be abusing nostr relays for proxying traffic via ephemeral events.

this is an attack on nostr, adds unnecessary load to already bandwidth-constrained public relays and makes them harder to run.

I will have to add ephemeral note blocking to noteguard and strfry now =/

There's a similar problem with draft events. I would say this problem is not about ephemeral events specifically.

The main issue is I don't think I can block ephemeral events with strfry's write policies, but I could be wrong. I might need to update strfry.

Draft spam is at least handled by rate limiting?

I may need to finish proxy mode in noteguard:

then I can do more advanced stuff like this... 🤔

Draft spam on every single character or keystroke seems a bit much.

that's what it looks like indeed

Maybe we have specific dedicated relays for NWS events moving forward if this type of service seems to take off and be useful and used?

yes but at that point you might as well just use a generic proxy?

Lol.

Yabut! Haven't you heard? "Nostr is the new web?"

Teeheeheeheeheelol.
