Yes it has felt different. What’s being throttled? Or to ask another way, what are they doing when they’re throttling?

nostr's growing too big for free relays without funds to expand infrastructure

people like me and nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg6waehxw309a5xjan9w3skc6ewdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq35amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3ww35x2umpd4jkxct59e5k7tcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpq0npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qm9unzk have been banging on about this for ages because we are both experienced with systems administration and structural limitatations and budget problems

why p2p pear and keet

p2p still has a problem with spam

nostr has a problem with spam, everything does

they haven't been hit with much yet so we will have to see what they dev to solve it

💯

well for example, damus relay now only allows a couple messages per minute, that incudes ALL kinds, zaps, likes, follows, profiles, replies.. drafts, for sure would burn this before you even post.

Interesting that it would include all event types. Makes it almost unusable for any average user. I wonder if they’re going to make Damus Purple necessary to use the relay.

i would do that instead if i were them

That would be better than making the relay unusable at all 😂

How would a user be able to know if/when a relay is throttling?

clients usually cover up the failure.. but most relays will respond back and say why its not currently accepting a particular note so that you would know to retry.

Both noStrudel and Gossip give feedback on the status of every event generated from your key.

Oh good to know. I use noStrudel when I’m on desktop (which is rarely 😂) so I’ll check that out next time.
