The app is great, egui looks like crap. Reminds me of tkabber which was a good jabber client but on tk. Never used it because of that.

I think Ukrainian propaganda needs to change the talking points for Nostr. Nostr is not Twitter or BlueSky, their standard schemes don't work here.

If I held the position of Nostr Ukrainian propaganda chief at the CIA, working on humanitarian aspects would be my priority. Westerners are fatigued with Ukraine and must be introduced to the concept of Ukrainianism instead. The Smurfs-like folks live a simple life full of love for their country, daily routines, and one another.

They require 10,000 of these cheerful beings to remedy the issue and divert society's attention from the foolish Trudeau.

I know the CIA reads Nostr and I hope they take my advice. We have to help each other. I just don't want to mute Ukraine, but it is impossible to read the cringe that is associated with it either.

I understand all the dislike for zbd and zbd users, but at least they don't post hentai with furries.

Because you can't betray your #zbd family.

Sort of. Most of the relays are in the US and Canada, and 80% are in 14 Eyes. Often the same backbone networks and even the same providers are used.

But the situation is changing. The p2p is being implemented, local nostrdb is being created, and relays are being launched in different jurisdictions.

There's already a lot of oils in coffee.

There are no person like the average ZBD user, each one is a unique member of a huge family... ZBD family 🤣

I don't understand the difficulty in explaining what relay is. Relay is notes servers. You can post notes to one server and read from one server, or you can post notes to ten servers and read from ten at once. That's it. That's enough.

Those who want the details will go to github and figure it out for themselves.

There's no point in rewriting it. This text is too overcomplicated. Not just servers but decentralized servers, not just posts but "notes and events", not just signatures but cryptographic signatures, etc.

What are events? What is cryptography? Aren't other servers decentralized? You write here that it's safe to trust your notes to strangers, but you need to start your relay to make it safe. WTF 🤣 Any member of the #zbd family will have a brain melt because of your text.

Welcome new Nostriches! If you're wondering about relays, I have you covered.

What are relays?

Nostr relays are decentralized servers that are used to store and transmit notes and events on the Nostr protocol. They are essential for the operation of Nostr, as they allow users to communicate with each other without having to rely on a central server. Nostr relays are sometimes referred to as the "dumb" powerhouses of the protocol.

Nostr relays are run by volunteers all over the world. This makes Nostr censorship-resistant, as it is not possible for any one entity to control all of the relays.

When a user creates a note or event on Nostr, clients broadcast this information to the user's relays to be stored and later retrieved by other clients. Nostr relays are also responsible for verifying the authenticity of notes. This is done by using a cryptographic signature that is attached to each note. When a user receives a note, their client verifies the signature to ensure that the note has not been tampered with.

Nostr relays are a critical part of the Nostr protocol. They allow users to communicate with each other censorship-resistantly, securely, and anyone can run one.

What relays should I use?

You want to use a diverse set of relays along with relays that your friends, family, and people you know use. If you do not share at least one relay in common with someone, you may not be able to communicate with one another across the Nostr protocol.

Nostr clients will either bootstrap a list of pre-configured, default relays for you to use or recommend relays for you to use. These are a good place to start, but it's recommended to reach out to your friends to see what relays they are using or to join a local community or interest based relay.

A list of all Nostr relays can be found at https://nostr.watch

Should I run my own relay?

Yes.

This puts you in charge of your social data and your entire social graph for the very first time.

This helps you stay censorship resistant. If a relay would happen to censor you, ban you, or disappear, you still have all of your data on your own personal relay.

Boring. Too complicated for #zbd family.
