📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

Have there been quality scaling conversations on how nostr could grow to billions of users? I assume relays are the bottleneck, but I'm not really sure.

Much appreciated you sharing this on nostr, but can you please put all your messages in a single longer post instead of breaking it down? luckily we don't have X characters limitations here!
It's a mostr.pub address so it gets automatically bridged over
thanks dude, didn't know that
not sure whthe rest of it didn't federate, but you can find the OG https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115445709173903611
things like umbrel and start9 would help. I keep saying that nostr is about people self hosting their stuffs, and these projects make it trivial.
Right now there is either super client handling everything client side (this won't scale), or primal, that does many things server side but comes with centralisation.
For Nostr to work you would need users to install a fully fledged nostr client with relay, blossom, and a server running 24/7 customized to their own algorythm, scanning nostr for content that might interest them.
If this is a thread I can’t see the rest of it
