well, that's an interesting strategy, its quite funny how we run experiments around Jack so casually here lol. i guess big relays can do it out of goodwill for a certain period but might be tough to convince all. Anyone reached out to @someone ? She runs nos.lol and nostr.mom and has also patiently answered all my stupid tech question over the year. I am guessing she might be game as she likes to try new things. But you guys might be better off talking to each other - I'll be the connector. If @someone is game, then let's try speaking to another big relay player after this.
It might be an interesting experiment short term, and might get some people to support gossip, but long term we can't stop blastr, we have to be better than blastr. The real way forward is relays figuring out their own authentication and retention policies.
