Interesting topic.
So many people fear to get into conflict with their intelligence services.
Where do we live?
Why did we need to protect ourselves, even when just posting stuff..
Then I guess I'll have to repeat my top reply to you then.
"Relays can be authenticated. If you don't want your relay to accept data from anyone, don't leave it open. Same with any other Internet protocol."
If you don't want people to host illegal stuff on your server, do not run an open relay, an open FTP server, a social network, or an image host.
If you do, be prepared to have to work hard to keep bad actors at bay.
It's not strictly a NOSTR fault, and there is no reason why YOU need to run a relay.
Your comment is misleading and a little disingenuous: Nostr doesn't make you forward stuff. A client doesn't have to forward anything. It just connects to relays and subscribes to topics. Relay != client.
I have to repeat my most important concern about Nostr from ~3 months ago[1]: Nostr makes you forward data from strangers unencrypted. If anything unlawful which you forward for Nostr is ever found on your computer, or found transmitted from your computer, you'd have fun time to explain to the authorities how it even ended up on your machine, and why are you disseminating it.
Encryption is not trivially easy to introduce into this scheme, and it can't be too seamless. It's possible though, and I encourage the developers to work on that.

So many breath taking new apps..

Terrain Theory: This theory suggests that the body's internal environment, not an external pathogen, determines health. A healthy body repels illness, while a toxic internal environment invites disease. Terrain theorists argue we should focus on optimizing internal health rather than targeting external “invaders.”
How safe is yakihonne/nostr?
Can everybody see my posts?
Yakihonne gives me all I need.
Thank you!
After having used X again for several months I'm back to the decentralized old friend nostter. It's a delight too be here--really.
The day did not seem to be of importance.
And yet such days host hidden breakthroughs.
I can only confirm the observation that communication on a decentralized network needs to be learned.
Me too!
Decentralization is much more than I've been knowing until now.
Still a lot to learn.
Such a different concept.
DM not easy to learn.
So complicated.
O my.
nostr:npub19mayvrg9w4g0873wkpce4yv2wwpgjpz83j2ukmee95v0xehr5jmskzm567 Nostur Mac app seems to be overdeveloped.
No joy to use it.
Nostr can be a great way of group discussing issues.
The biggest plus of nostr is the lack of censorship.
You get the big picture.
Sometimes like in a garbage container.
But that's reality.
You can't pick what's real and what's not.
So if one relay decides to ban someone that person can switch to publishing to others relays and their audience will quickly follow them there. (fiatjaf)
