 Step 1) Everyone uses the same 3 clients 😊
Step 2) Demand all controller logic only be in clients 🤓
Step 3) Top 3 clients all implement same controller 😬
Step 4) Cry about shadowbanning 😭

 centralization, that's what i get 🤔

 of clients, because people dumb

▲ ▼

 or something

▲ ▼

 same top 20 relays inspite 800 more relays choosing

▲ ▼

 I know.
Even the people I have offered the free use of my relay to, usually refuse to use it. There could be hundreds of people on there, but there aren't. They're all on Primal, LOL, or Damus.

▲ ▼

 A relay for all who like to visit the forest.
- liked and subscribed

▲ ▼

 Added you and broadcasted. Seems to be writing.

▲ ▼

 they aren't using outbox model clients, obviously, whenever my relay is running and the whitelist is not enabled to filter only my traffic i get queries from other addresses from time to time, often when i'm in the midst of engaging

 Nostr offers people endless options, but most people want the same thing, so they will get that.

What Nostr also offers -- and this is the beautiful part -- is that people like us can choose if we also want to limit ourselves to that same thing, if we want to do our own thing, or both.

 Actually, you only have the choice if you are tech savvy... I'm not 😅🤷🏽‍♀️

▲ ▼

 We need less-tech-savvy people, too!

Who else is going to tell devs that their interface makes no sense?

▲ ▼

 Who do I tell that none of it makes sense to me? I have some basic settings that I guess that were imported almost a year ago when I joined and I've been wandering around thinking, "wtf" ever since... 😂😅

▲ ▼

 I think you're on some private relays like theforest and ok0. 🤔 Check the list in your client.

▲ ▼

 I recall trying to sign up to the forest and getting a bunch of error messages. Ok0 is something that someone else signed me up to I believe... By which I mean someone once asked me if I want one of those identifyer things and I said, "sure"

▲ ▼

 I also once managed to figure out how to use that site you sent me which shoudl fix how stuff appears? 😊🤣 That took me way too log to do and I don't ever know if it worked 😅 I don't know what hat you me a by "check the list in your client" although I spose I could fumble around for a bit trying to figure it out.

▲ ▼

 Found the list! I'm on the forest, can't see okO

▲ ▼

 You could probably add ok0, since you have your NIP-05 (mouse@ok0.org) from there.

▲ ▼

 Challenge accepted 🫡

▲ ▼

 He doesn't seem to have AUTH setup, so you can probably at least read from there.

▲ ▼

 I don't actually know what the relays name is. Kept getting errors. That's why I went back and checked and the forest although appearing in my list is still showing errors. Every time I think I'm getting somewhere I find out I'm not. 😤

▲ ▼

 I'm on Amethyst, and my relays are giving lots of errors. Just not all at the same time! The forest is about the only one not erroring right now :)

▲ ▼

 Oooh I got it! 😁💜

▲ ▼

 It worked. :-) I see your name as "Mouse" now, instead of "npubbunchofnumbers".
