How's Damus holding up without gossip? Is it able to find notes now that they don't exist on the central hub? Or is this fake news. Good move by the way, this is a great stress test of the network architecture.
I rarely see missed notes. People who use damus broadcast notes they are replying to.
Anecdotally, I occasionally miss notes on Damus but I would say it’s more frequent than rarely. Usually missing the root note when I see a reply. Probably because other clients don’t broadcast the root. Gossip model (or relay rendezvous, as Mike calls it) in all clients would be great.
