Where you running a free nostr relay? or free nostr image host?

If you were. Then it's probably because the freeloaders use free Nostr relays to upload questionable things that might be illegal depending on which country the server is in.

When I ran my server hosting company. We have no choice but to quickly kick clients off our server due to illegal activities. Most of the time it's because the client allowed anyone to upload anything to their servers and they didn't moderate their server.

Internet users would then send complaints to the ISP and the ISP would threaten to ban us. The ISP doesn't mess around.

This is why you should never allow users without payment to upload things to your server.

The free relays are full of trash. I can see this happening and it will give Nostr a bad name.

Most administrators just setup the relay and never moderate.

Yea

Maybe write a key management client first which is what apparently you are doing? How come everyone’s using just one master key? 🙀

What if I walked away from this npub and just started a new one? I could probably figure out how to clone all the important stuff over.

I doubt my followers (both of you) would mind that much, and I'm no infloonzer, so my clone would likely just be me.

One feature of nostr that has bugged me for a while is the inability to delete notes. I'm used to deleting most of my history on other platforms, quite intentionally. Sure, a relay might eventually remove your note, but another may not - so you have no way to know if your history is out there still, or no.

I value being able to forget. Being able to re-create. I've had to be way more careful to stay mostly anon here than on normie social media. It feels limiting, rather than freeing.

I may be free of being cancelled or shadow banned, but I am very much not free of the real world consequences of anything I say, at any point in the future, whenever my past may be examined against criteria I wouldn't be able to even imagine in the present.

What if, in 5 years, my wife learns how to use nostr and looks back at this npub's history and decides it was somehow disrespectful to her?

What if it wasn't my wife, but my government? Or the government of the nation I am trying to enter? Or a police or legal action?

Winding myself up a bit. Not sure how this plays out. I'll put it like this - If this npub stops posting, it likely won't be because I am gone. I'll still be around, just respawned under a new clean npub.

My social graph doesn't feel that built up anyway. Does it serve me? Or do I serve it?

It might actually be awesome UX:

1. You generate an nsec on an App-1 you trust (where else? lol 😹 )

2. You open another App-2:

- When your on the same device it lets you open a link in App-1 that upon approval sends a subkey to App-2

- It also shows a QR Code that, when scanned and approved in App-1, sends a subkey to App-2
