Scraping is more efficient on nostr because anyone can mirror and cache public relays. Elon’s problem is a non-issue here.

Yep. 🎯- he’s just trying to force people into paid verification.
Huge mistake.
Data requests of any kind are a cost to the server. If the service is free there will be caps, if it’s paid for there will be higher caps.
I assume Elon was trying to work a sustainable fee model into his server, but was being sidestepped by screen scrapers (a capping loophole), and so decided to bring the caps down hard on the free accounts.
The same realities will be true for relays won’t they?
How is Nostr funded?
how is http funded?
🤣
I’m starting to wonder if relays could be scaled to pop up on free tier instances to simulate swarms like BitTorrent. Enter your free tier VPS instance SSH keys in the phone app and presto.
You think the future exists in free tier VPSs?
Nothing is free but maybe
Not the future but it’s kinda like mining Bitcoin… the market might adjust or just ban you but at that point a home server can manage relaying.
That answer confirms this app will be dead in less than 3 years lmao
yeah just like http. such a shame.
Just curious, why didn’t you come up with an original design for profile pages rather than copying every other social media site known to man?
because a big part of design is not confusing people. Familiarity is useful.
With that argument in mind, someone who had only exclusively used Reddit would not be able to figure out hacker news, meta filter or slashdot which is not true.
That issue of him helped me making my mind leave twitter for good
You gotta make a move into making this platform easier to use and more user friendly to the average joe if you want to take advantage of Elon’s stupidity
He is just helping us out of Twitter one decision at a time
That was more about money than technology I would think…. And bots. He should rate limit oit’s time, its better to keep a slow drip and users engaged than to cut them off cold turkey.
