It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

A person from 150 years ago would be terrified by modern stuff. However, a

duck from 150 years ago would just be all like, still got lakes? yes ? okay

cool

Can you see this?

We’re at the state in nostr clients where “you can move between clients “ with the same key is no longer true. Logging into other clients can easily break your account on damus because many will wipe your relay list. Damus strictly follows your relay list when pulling data so that you have ultimate authority of what is received in your feed.

This is not the only way to do it, the gossip model model will pull data based on what other users define in their relay read/write descriptors, but then the user has less control on what is displayed and from where, as it becomes a decision that other users make on your behalf. This is actually good for decentralization but it doesn’t mean its the best or only way to fetch notes.

because this is not defined by the protocol, many clients make assumptions about how data is pulled. Many just used a fixed set of relays or use their own cache relay. Some use gossip model. This means logging into different clients might give different views of the data.

So if your damus account is broken by another client, sorry. All i can say is “warranty is voided if you put your nsec into another client”. And that is pretty sad :(
