Oddbean new post about login | logout How would someone using NOSTR know if the relays they use are or aren’t censoring them? I find this to be a serious issue with calling NOSTR censorship resistant when there’s no way to check this. A relay may say you’re connected, then omit your posts from everyone’s feed #asknostr
Just spin up another key on another client. . .
That would be a way to “reset” sure, but what if I don’t want to lose the people I’m following/who are following me? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just be able to verify that the relays are doing what they say they are doing?
No, that's how you check. If it is so, you can run your own relay. But more than likely a paid relay in another jurisdiction would suffice.
If your client doesn't show it, use something like rust-nostr (in bindings of your choice, e.g. python or Js) and check the logs what relays reply to you when trying to send something. They either return success or give you a response like you're blocked or you are not paying or you are not using a NIP05 or whatever they want.
I have to see these all the time when people put in paid/closed/private relays in their public inbox relays and a DVM tries to reply and gets all kinds of reasons why it's not allowed to write on PUBLIC inbox relays 😅
A good client will show you the relays you're broadcasting to and if your request has been processed, timed out, rate limited or if your blocked.
What clients show you this? I figured it would be more of a client thing to show this info but the ones I’ve seen don’t show this
noStrudel is one of them.
Make a second account and follow your first account. It wont take long to figure it out
