Again, it makes no sense. If they were writing events for an year that would be 54 events per day. No one writes that much. They're probably doing this for 90 days only at best, which means 222 events every day.
You're telling me that only 32 people have already written 1GB of data? And each has written over 20 thousand events? That can't be true.
Nostr doesn't work when you have no internet.
Sorry for the FUD. I was just asking innocently and because I was lazy and curious, I don't have any evidence of anything.
If I was running a relay I would definitely block events with too many tags.
Has Snowden given up on Nostr already?
"it would not be enough for Jones to update his settings with his new relay and all the clients would then grab his posts from there?"
Exactly, that would be enough. That is what I was calling "the gossip model". No one is doing that currently, except https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip and https://coracle.social/.
Well, #[0] himself said that people learned what RSS was and how to add an RSS feed to a podcast app decades ago.
Exactly:
(after an hour of intermittent usage)
Try to make #[0] realize that though. He will die on the hill that Nostr is bandwidth-heavy by nature. He just posts that same FUD every day.
That's not what I am saying. I am saying clients are different. #[0]
Beware of Mr. Togami's takes. He doesn't really know what he is talking about.
Of course, it makes no sense for Alex Jones to host random content from all his followers.
What is the "getgo"? When you have zero followers and no one knows who you are? Then you start a new relay?
I mean it's good to allow people to spread ideas.
https://nips.be/2 has basically that in it already -- the petname stuff. It was implemented a long time ago, but no one bothered again since that time.
7 times for me.
I think it's both, but more importantly the impact that the conjunction of Alex Jones and his followers have in spreading new challenging ideas through society.
(Not Alex Jones personally specifically, of course.)
I guess that solves it.
What client are you using?
The problem is not for the information to exist, it is for it to be found.
Actually it makes more sense for the target relays to be exported inside the QR code too from the desktop app.
Nice catch, yes, that came to my mind too. But writing to is much simpler than reading from -- still this app could allow you to pick the relays to publish each note to in case it's a contextual thing.
You write the note on your desktop and scan a QR code with its contents. The mobile app signs and publishes it directly to a list of relays it has internally.
Tell me how people are going to get information about Alex Jones's new relay so they can manually go to a hidden menu and type a URL there in your model.
People who do not support, do not care about or never heard about the "gossip model" -- which is basically the idea that clients should (mostly) automatically find people in wherever relays they are and fetch their notes from these relays -- here is a question for you:
What would happen if everybody is following Alex Jones on the 10 biggest relays, but they all collude to ban Alex Jones? Then Alex Jones starts publishing on a relatively tiny relay hosted in Colombiat. How can Nostr fulfill its censorship-resistant promises in this situation? Would all of his millions of Nostr followers have to manually open their settings and add his new relay address?
Now I am thinking that it might be a good idea to come up with a new URL scheme that is backwards-compatible.
