realization:

nostr cannot scale to its desired scope in its current form. it must change or it will become centralized.

to see it, think about this question:

can every relay store every note across the network?

there was some good discussion around this and there not being a true "global" where everything is stored and current

some of the thoughts that came out of the chats were

- give up on global, there will be relays for certain things and that's ok or it isn't ok

- some centralization will likely happen (like with wine, damus relay) and maybe that's ok if other relays can pop up and quickly replace them should censorship or capture happen

- maybe global can exist but only on shorter durations and you pay for longer storage or you host your own notes if you want history

I still think fiatjaf should have stuck with the secure scuttlebutt model like he initially thought.

making relays only for discovery like syncthing, and having native clients store data on the local machine… with personal networks extending one hop out.
