What is this hell thread I keep hearing about? I've been traveling all day

I actually #februaryedofftwitter

These guys popped up on my TV talking about nostr

BT weekly could be the only way we know what's going on over there on Bitcoin Twitter

True tho you can't rely on the goodness of man at scale, unfortunately. The free rider issue will become apparent without costs attached. Paid interactions will solve for a lot of that but that also presents some issues as well in terms of whether people want to bear that cost (not financially, but psychologically)

I figured aggressive filtering would be necessary but how that gets balanced with potential censorship concerns is what I'm trying to think through

I think we're gonna see a divide between apps "built on nostr" vs "interacting with nostr".

I may be retarded but it seems like there's potential for abuse or carelessness that could strain relays if they're treated like free distributed databases for app infrastructure. If I'm a relay operator, I might not want a nostr-based exchange's orderbook data hogging resources.

What's the solution?
