Shower thoughts with Derek Ross... What if I pinged Elon every single day on X until he spun up a Nostr relay? *shrug*

Hey @elonmusk! 👋

You're a fan of open source software, but are you also a fan of open protocols and the decentralized web?

You should consider running a Nostr relay for X users.

✅ Opt in setting: users choose to participate
✅ One way first: X posts get mirrored to the Nostr relay as a trial
✅ Two way later: if the experiment works, open it up fully

Nostr is an open, censorship resistant protocol with a growing ecosystem of apps and users. Adding a relay would cost X almost nothing and would instantly connect your platform to the broader decentralized social web and signal that open sourced X runs on an open protocol too. It would be beautiful.

It's a low risk, high upside move. Let's make it happen.
