Yup, if I understand correctly, that's exactly how gossip works. It only writes to the relays you've specifically configured to write to. It's the *reading* from relays where it automates that based on the gossip NIP-65 wizardry it does.

Is there a list of clients that support NIP-65? I know Coracle and Gossip do, wasn’t sure if there are any others yet.

Awesome! I'm stoked to try out nos.social, especially after seeing what a slick experience Planetary was.

Dump em for a new batch of strangers! Gotta keep cycling for maximum safety 😛

Relatively barebones so far, but interesting nonetheless! They’re still fleshing out the pfficial protocol, so there’s only one “instance” that you can make an account on right now.

The latest US homicides statistics show that of the cases where the identity of the perpetrator was known, only 9.7% of those involve the victim killed by a stranger. So my takeaway is that the safest thing to do is actually to hangout with strangers as much as possible!

For sure! It also prevents the need for relays to sync data with other relays, and allow clients to autopilot pick relays in a way that evenly distributes load, without losing coverage of posts.

Nice! Does Coracle send the users relay info to every known relay?

I like this solution. Basically, clients would send the users’ kind 10002 event to *all known relays*, while only sending the note itself to the relays the user is connected to.

On the flip side, the client would then be able to pull in that 10002 event data from any of the relays a user is connected to, and know what relay to get another users posts from.

“It is suggested that people spread their kind 10002 events to many relays, but write their normal feed-related events to a much smaller number of relays (between 2 to 6 relays).”
