should I nuke the damus relay and start over? ๐ค some notes may be lost.
Discussion
Why do it?
Network stress test? If it mattered then thatโs not a good sign

can I export my bookmarks? will those get be impacted?
Bookmarks on Damus are local currently
yes. I want to export them, ie replicate them to my relay, in the event they are only hosted on the damus relay and will wipes it
Currently they are only on your local device is my understanding. Your bookmarks are not stored on any relay. Damus has yet to add nip-51 support for bookmarks.
I understand the bookmarks are stored locally. my concern is if those are somehow refreshed/reloaded, and the only copy was on the damus relay, they would be gone.
Make a copy and do it
Go for it! One other question thoโฆ
Could t be an option in clients to turn on and off delete note events? Making deleted notes visible?
Why can a dude delete shitty comments he made then pretend he wasnโt being a complete ass?
Do it.

If you dont run your own relay, SOL. ๐ค
๐ฅ
๐ซก
Do it
Just do it๐ค
Whats the total storage size now? Maybe back up the oldest notes? ๐ฅฒ
Oo exciting ๐ณ๐ฅ
I was thinking about this last night and the year itโs been, I wish there was a site where it could temporarily be archived, so it could be searchable for research and downloadable
yes, nuke it
Go, there are plenty of relays holding the data ๐
I'm still waiting for the first 10K Damus relay user badge ๐ฅ
#YESTR
Can somebody explain whats all about o going on. See a lot about nuking but dont 100% understand what will/could happen and what is meant bei that. That english isnt my native language doesnt make it better. What will it affect, will i recognaize it as a non tech guy, Do i have to make a New Account or loose follows/followers etc ?
You're using 18 more relays, you're good๐
Backup, download, update, restore all your data from all the relays.
Cool. Would be nice to be able to add custom relays to the export, or is that already supported?
Do it if you see a point in doing so. Just give everyone a good heads up first. ^^ nostr notes and an extra notification at least in the damus app
Two weeks notice maybe?
Why would people need that. I hope people arenโt solely relying on the damus relay for their stuff
I hope so to! But we don't know ๐คท
It being one of the largest relays, I just thought there could be a point to it.
Alt. just do it and let people learn the hard way x) But, some sort of heads up I think is better for relay reputation.
If you're using a free relay, I think it is to be expected to have no expectations on what happens to your notes
Yes I buy that argument, it's solid. We just don't know how many Damus users use nostr as if it's a twitter, and a normie user might think it works the same; then one day wake up with all notes gone. Then think, "naw bad quality service."
Due to Damus being one of the largest onboarding to nostr, and it being one of the largest relays; I think at least on the first data purge a notification could be prudent.
The notification could even mention; "On free relays beware data may be purged, here's a backup option, and remember to post to more than one relay. The Damus relay, is purged next week on xDay. Expect no notifications in the future."
heads up and a reminder that you can use https://metadata.nostr.com/ to backup your #nostr data!!
nostr.band says I have 2901 posts so Iโll be watching to see how much gets lost ๐
There were notes harmed in the making of this note
Maybe give a window for users to download notes? 7 days? Idk just thinking mostly about users who have only ever used Damus with the default 4 relays it comes configured with and donโt understand this part of nostr yet, or how to backup their data.
Do it. #nostr stress test.
nuke it!๐
Build a relay that offloads the notes in a S3 type of bucket for vertical/horizontal scaling. It's just querying json data on the fly, no?
Ok!
How about a rolling delete ?
With nostrdb it would be cool if Damus could backup all your notes locally similar to https://nostrsync.live/ that way normal people who wonโt run their own relays still have their content protected and the ability to rebroadcast everything.
Now youโre thinking ๐
Yes.
