we are moving away from calling it "gossip" in favor of "outbox model". "gossip" means too many things and outbox is a more descriptive name šŸ˜‰

outbox doesn't have any meaning at all, it's missing a noun.

how about promiscuous?

I mean verb.

maybe 'promiscuous propagation' in that it actively moves around the graph.

make sure you allow users to blacklist relays, relays can be readily used to spy on users and allowing users to not connect to some relays is important

Will do for sure šŸ¤™

Advanced view to choose what to use these relays for (reasd / write / profile metadata / etc)

These relays are supposed to be used for fetching stuff from people you follow. Read more at https://mikedilger.com/gossip-model/

Max per follow? What about max total? I’m afraid for my data if I add even 1 relay for everyone I follow 😱

Yep. Planning also a max total setting.

For data optimization the important thing is to cache and not fetch same stuff multiple times.
