both ways is best. existing RSS feeds translated to nostr, and nostr events translated to RSS. very POC implementation of this on nostr.io now under each profile, such that you can subscribe to that profile's events. podcasting could be greatly improved in this way. imagine following pubkeys that repost podcast events. disaggregation of RSS feeds will be a killer app once implemented.
the entire internet works this way
however the relay owner decides it. think of it as digital private property
yes, you have your own local slice of the protocol.
it sounds like you want fully private communications between a group of people, like a signal group?
I am very curious to understand your concerns here, but I can't say that I clearly understand the problem you would like to solve. apologies if you've mentioned it elsewhere, but would you mind stating what the goal is?
I'll add that my personal goal is to enable digital sovereignty. that is, the ability to communicate with people whom I choose to communicate with, under my own terms, and I believe nostr accomplishes this beautifully by implicitly using localism.
another option is to run your own relay and only allow those "select number of people" on your relay's whitelist. then messages you publish there are only available to those people. otherwise, it's hard to imagine how a non-account-based approach could work in this context.
turns out it was a bot: https://mj12bot.com/
they did try to read robots.txt, which I didn't have. that's fixed now.
strange behavior though, they were walking through events ids in lexical order calling the thread endpoint nostr.io/t/
I may have shot myself in the foot with the stats graphs.. I'm going to do some seat-of-pants caching
could be, but this is web traffic to nostr.io.
thanks for the heads up. I've been looking at wtf is going on. lots of traffic
I don't have a good idea there. opentimestamps are a thing, but I'm not sure how good even those are. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr/issues/38
exactly! we should implement our own .nostr tld only available via nostr clients
next up is events over time
