It seems the relay wars has caused everyone to take a break from nostr 😂

Anything that doesn't use DEI/ESG hiring/casting policies, push satanic agendas, initiate nostalgia programming, induce mass trauma, it's not subject to CIA/Tavistock editors/censoring, etc.

It's not fun to use a negative definition, but, considering how much of all the above BS is crammed into nearly everything these days, it would be a miracle to see something with good characters, good plot, good humor, and even excellent villains.

My all time favorite is #theblacklist. I haven’t found anything to replace it yet. LOL.

Ooh LOTR is definitely one of my favorites! I love fantasy/adventure. But I also enjoy watching action shows like Jack Ryan and movies like John Wick.

I really do love web of trust

Gm Teresa! Sending an abundance of positive energy your way. 💫

fear of all I can’t control, which I guess is just being human 😅 thank you!

Good morning ☀️ ☕️

GM 🫂🤗 #gmprotocol

you know when you think of something and get an actual sick feeling of dread in your stomach? how does one rid themselves of the stomach part? I want to think through things without it. thanks in advance.

regards,

As long as nostr is open (and to me that’s the most important part) nobody gets to dictate what other people do.

Not what type of new kinds or events they create, not what relays they choose, not what their relay’s policies are, not what clients they use, not how they manage their private key, not who they follow, not who they mute, and certainly not what they say.

That’s the point.

There's a few more 1111 sat zaps to be given away + we are getting closer to revealing all the details for one lucky buccaneer to win the grand prize of 25k sats! Details below: ⬇️

We've had a lot of talk about relays over the past day here on Nostr. This may be a bit confusing if you're new to Nostr.

What's going on with this discussion and why are many people making comments, jokes, or memes about relays?

The argument boils down to centralization and decentralization. On Nostr, we decentralize our infrastructure by using a potential wide variety of servers. Many of us are reading this note right now that's been retrieved from a variety of servers or as we call them, relays. Some relays are more popular than others. This leads to the questions surrounding decentralization. If many users are only using a top subset of relays, then we're not as decentralized as we could be or maybe even as decentralized as we should be.

I have various opinions on this subject. Even if Nostriches mostly only use ten relays, we're still magnitudes better than any existing social platform where only one entity runs the server infrastructure. We can do better though and we should do better. We have the tools to and the capabilities to make Nostr even more decentralized.

Now, this gets us into the next discussion. Which method of decentralization is best? For that, again, in my opinion, I'm a fan of the Gossip model. Simple put, Gossip makes relay selection not overly matter all that much. You can use any relay that you'd like and your follower's clients essentially fetch the notes and events from the relays that are being used without the need to be utilizing the same relay for communication to flow.

What should you do? Nothing, IMO. Relay selection and discovery aren't that great on most clients. I'd say keep using the same relays that you're using for now. Maybe, at some point, you'll update your relays to use smaller, community relays. For now, this is a developer problem to solve. You just keep creating notes and sending zaps. It will all work out in the end. Our developers LOVE to have problems to solve. Pura vida!

Welcome remember to pass the zaps on
