is there a relay implementation with content filtering baked in? for a user's outbox/inbox, is there anything out there that could let them have a publicly exposed relay safely? and is there a relay monitoring client? #asknostr

they wouldn't even be given any choice at first, outbox should handle it all for them. the client would look for the relay list of the npub they're trying to follow, in a predefined set (including nip65 specialized relays), which should be as large as possible.
once the relay list is retrieved, thats a bunch of relays to explore, and in those relays, they might find hundreds of relay hints in events. thats how the magic happens, unless they're exploring nip70 dedicated relays.
now if their point of entry is a relay, it's either:
- amazing, a regular relay that relays events as it should
- terrible, that relay is nip70 only, all the events are exclusive to it, no other relay hint can be found

2025-12-15 03:00:49 UTC

- reply

this is a completely different scenario than what has been talked about for these NIPs.
here the data probably does not hold any value to the point where people would broadcast the events, and nip63 doesnt apply, only nip70. in that case it makes sense, but the user needs to know that they could be rug pulled anytime by that google drive and dropbox, if they were to not care about the tag anymore.
it would only be perfect in a scenario where the user owns both relays.
so if that user wants peace of mind, i wouldn't recommend going with nostr. it unfortunately isn't a solution in every scenario.
you know better than i do how nostr is, among a few other things, a solution to censorship, definitely not a solution to everything.

2025-12-15 00:38:01 UTC

- reply

non-centralizing defaults come with outbox to begin with. however the user discovered nostr already gives a point of entry into the ecosystem, that could be following someone or connecting to a relay.
and for obvious reasons, your third option is objectively the best, users need to have a basic idea of what goes on behind the UI so that they can make conscious choices.
i agree with you that it gets really confusing, and thus the reason why this space needs more UX designers which are good at dealing with decentralized tools.

2025-12-14 23:57:05 UTC

- reply

theres a fine line between relays having a personality/filtering/curating content and poorly attempting to make events exclusive to them.
the idea of restricted access to events on nostr is a joke, thats just not compatible with the protocol. those NIPs are useless.
there are and there should be a variety of relays, because of the need for incentives but also because some stuff just cannot be done client-side.
now something i wish people looked more into is user or local communities owned relays - which are closer to the user - that's an opportunity to get done whatever is too heavy to do on clients there, making sure users have full control over it.
even the outbox model would scale better that way, having clients fetch events from a home relay.

2025-12-14 01:09:43 UTC

- reply

he didnt mean that literally, nostr clients talk to relays and relays talk back to clients. interoperability is actually achieved when the data back and forth with relays can be created/interacted with from different types of clients, each specialized in different nips

2025-12-13 15:15:37 UTC

- reply

exactly. and a paywall fundamentally changes 'who has access and why' from a censorship resistant protocol to a gatekept permissioned one, which simply goes against that principle

2025-12-13 11:21:14 UTC

- reply

in real life a simple tag won't make any difference
its like printing something on paper and believing that just because you stamped it, people won't photocopy that paper. that is absurd. if the content on that paper is valuable then it's safe to assume people WILL keep a copy of it. that's the reason why scanners don't let you scan money
nostr makes the whole process infinitely easier, its a matter of unchecking a box on your relay settings, and broadcasting the event with a single click

2025-12-13 11:12:09 UTC

- reply

comparing paper with nostr... i hope you're joking.
look im not trying to get philosophical here. its very simple, nostr has data portability designed at its very core, copying events, sharing and broadcasting them is what happens all day long on all relays
relays are meant to relay events, not poorly attempt to gatekeep them
its all up to the user if they want to take the "-" tag into account or not. if piracy was that easy, it wouldnt even be called piracy at that point
and if you really still think it could work, in a dystopia where everyone respects that tag, look, companies could start using it in a detrimental way for users. say google for nostr, requiring auth on every connection, then we're right back to centralized systems

2025-12-12 18:54:42 UTC

- reply

not at all, you're misunderstanding this.
this protocol makes data FREE. technically speaking nip70 and that new one are pointless, those 'protections' will be ignored in the real world
i think its actually kind of sad, when we have the opportunity to embrace data and information being completely free, you all go ahead and pretend like there can be implementations against that
i do agree with other takes you've posted before but the belief we can restrict access to content on nostr is simply not true

the UI and UX of nostr apps are currently the exact same ones from legacy social media, theres no improvement whatsoever, the exact same manipulative mechanisms are copied 100%
the nostr ecosystem shouldnt be a mere alternative to legacy social media, it should be different and way more diverse, we should have a lot more to pick from.

hey @nprofile…vpwz @nprofile…0e7l i've been seeing all the progress yall are making with frostr and was wondering if you are planning on advertising what's being worked on to nostr users?
it seems very promising but i don't see much talk about it which is a shame. theres also a few things i don't quite get.
how does this protocol protect shares that have not been compromised in a scenario where an attacker would have control over a share ? wouldn't the compromised device allow for a request to get something signed from other devices/shares and succesfully get it back?
i think i saw theres a way to make it so that only certain shares can make requests to others or something along these lines?
a detailed explanation on how to properly and securely adopt frostr for one's keys on that regard would probably be useful to new users.

if users don't have to think about relays upfront, they'll probably never think about them. that's why i believe every nostr client should ask for the relays to connect to on first launch.
defaults are centralizing, so many people won't change them.
how you make onboarding as smooth as possible is a matter of good UI. @nprofile…t8ky seems to be doing an amazing job with 0xchat lite. users should be *aware* of what is going behind the scenes, they deserve to know, let's give them free will.
making decisions for other people is always bad unless they're not able to, and this is not rocket science, everyone uses the internet nowadays and has some idea of how it works. btw, @nprofile…dvuv are any UI changes in that regard coming to outbox amethyst?

so according to you, the sweet spot is where the user doesn't have to think about relays at all?

2025-07-12 15:11:57 UTC

- reply

exactly, that's the whole point, you don't have a single point of failure, instead you have multiple independent relays where your events could be broadcasted.
the more relays you post to, the lower the chances of your content being censored everywhere become.

2025-07-12 13:29:52 UTC

- reply

for anyone coming across this brainrot thread, know that this is a half truth. because right now, sure, most relays store events but it is mentioned in the protocol specs that relays should be dumb aka only relaying events and never storing them. therefore traditional cloud/social media legal and moderation requirements may not apply.

2025-07-12 11:07:12 UTC

i'm in favor of anything that lets users make the decisions, pre-defined relays are not conducive to that approach.

o argumento de que "donos de servidores podem ser presos se não censurarem você" é verdadeiro, mas isso não impedirá você de continuar a se expressar com nostr. você pode estar usando vários relays em continentes diferentes, e mesmo que você seja censurado em todo o planeta (o que é, em pratica, impossível), ainda poderá armazenar seus posts nostr no seu celular ou em qualquer computador. assim, você poderá esperar até o dia em que poderá broadcast seus posts novamente.

2025-07-12 10:44:56 UTC

isso não é verdade.
já temos provas de que o modelo outbox pode funcionar muito bem, dados não precisam estar centralizados de jeito nenhum. talvez o seu produto necessite de centralização, mas não é o caso do nostr.
hoje em dia, nostr é um dos, se não, o melhor protocolo que existe para descentralização social.
você não gostar do protocolo é uma coisa, mas ativamente propagar coisas falsas e imprecisas é outra.

imo having 0xchat relay by default is centralizing and people need to go through thr process of finding out what a relay and a circle are. the "clueless" just need a better explanation with nice visuals.

eu vi isso aqui tbm:
#nevent1q…nura
mais uma afirmação enganosa desse indivíduo, porque simplifica demais as regras legais e de moderação para relays. relays são projetados para simplesmente reencaminhar dados sem armazená-los no início. relays não precisam armazenar dados como esses grandes relays que estamos usando agora. tudo pode ser armazenado em clientes. tudo isso pode fazer com que tenham responsabilidades legais diferentes das de servidores em nuvem ou antigos sites de redes sociais. nesse sentido, nostr oferece muito mais possibilidades que outros protocolos.

2025-07-12 09:23:32 UTC

- reply

não necessariamente, novos usuários não chegam a usar nostr do nada, alguém ou alguma coisa convida esses novos usuários, então daí já tem um primeiro ponto de acesso a rede que o usuário pode explorar. a beleza de nostr é que pode inteiramente funcionar sem nenhum grande relay. em vez de grandes relays, poderia sómente ter essa maneira orgânica de explorar a rede ou DVMs que permitem a discoverta de contéudo.

eu nunca vi tanta atenção sendo dada a comentários desse tipo. se olharem o perfil dele, verão que ele não é uma pessoa de boa-fé. ele está rage baiting e todo mundo esta caindo nessa brincadeirinha.
relays não são como nós do bitcoin, sim, mas o conceito do nostr só funciona com o modelo outbox e nesse modelo, cada um tem seu próprio relay onde lê e escreve.
essa história de grandes relays podendo censurar é real, mas o objetivo é esse: não depender de grandes relays.
a web é basicamente descentralizada do mesmo jeito que o nostr deveria ser. cada pessoa pode ter seu próprio site, igual no início da internet e os blogs.
é claro que o nostr e o bitcoin são diferentes, mas têm muitas semelhanças. e rodar seu próprio relay é muito mais fácil e acessível do que rodar um nó do Bitcoin.

2025-07-11 04:09:53 UTC

seeing nostr's true potential requires more technical understanding than usual and that's okay.

2025-07-10 19:57:25 UTC

- high bandwidth usage
that's one of the tradeoffs, keep reading below to understand.
- relay operators need to get paid
not necessarily, the goal that is currently work in progress is to have the outbox model be widely adopted. every user has their own relay they run, or have someone run for them.
there is significant progress being made over different clients aiming to this.
just like with TOR, there will always be people willing to run relays for free.
not to mention that running a nostr relay is easy and accessible to anyone.
- instead of one evil corporation having your data, everyone does
information should be free and nostr enables that. as soon as you post something on legacy social media, it is *public*, it can be seen by anyone so what is nostr doing wrong? nostr takes it a step further by making it verifiable with every post being signed. "don't trust, verify."
when we say nostr is better for your privacy, it is the case because your *private* data (ie queries sent to relays) gets spread all over nostr via hundreds of different relays (outbox model). that way, it is significantly harder for any malicious actor to be able to know what/where you are browsing.
on the client side, you are not being tracked which is not the case on legacy social media where every single touch on your screen is analyzed. (most nostr clients are open source, that can be verified)
- privacy was never a consideration in the protocol design
the main goal behind nostr is censorship resistance and is currently the best real decentralized network in the social media realm.
privacy is and has always been a consideration for most builders and users of nostr. you notice that when you look at the NIPs, and how a lot of clients integrate TOR.
- NIPs are a moving target.
that is one of the main strengths of nostr, achieving interoperability is not easy but it's being done remarkably for most NIPs.
seems like when something is rewritten, it is for the better. take a look at DMs, we're going from NIP-04 to NIP-17 (so much better) to now NIP-EE achieving MLS integration on a decentralized network.
-
there are issues and we all know that, what makes nostr different is that we're at least acknowledging them and trying to solve them consistently.

i don't see web of trust being the future of nostr or any open social app. wot limits people's reach by default, leaving the biggest voices with maximum reach - this is called centralization - we don't want that.
AI content isn't always bad, some content can be good as long as we see it like any other kind of content, with critical thinking. there will be more bots than humans in the future, it's something we have to get used to.
that leaves us with spam and content filtering problems, both can be dealt with on relays and clients.

idk if this is already a thing, but perhaps a new NIP for claiming an event could work? or a series of events based on OTS signed events on them. then clients could fetch all the appropriate ones for a given profile?

i hear you, but rn when people don't like what they have, they already go out of their way to "rebuild" their algorithm by liking or viewing different types of content on purpose.
(i think a lot feel like they can control it to an extent)
and on the technical side, it seems that it would be so much harder to have algorithms on nostr anywhere close to how efficient the big tech ones are.
so i do find it interesting that we're looking for better algorithms and more choice, but in the long run is it actually worth it or are we wasting our time?
imo the outbox model is the future of nostr, and algorithms do not like that model. nostr does not thrive with algorithms.

2025-06-19 19:47:24 UTC

- reply

im not against algorithms and exploring new ways to find content, i agree they could be necessary as there is a clear need from users to sort content. all i said is that we're not going to win that race against big tech algorithms and that our focus should probably be somewhere else. we want nostr to thrive as a decentralized network and algorithms are not compatible with that as much as you all want it to be.

i mainly meant no algorithm feed. but beyond that, maybe no feed period is the way to go. i don't know the how yet, but i think there's so much left to explore in UX/UI. feeds are restrictive and by design addictive.

- reply

theres a reason why the best note discovery algorithms (DVMs) right now seem to be from primal. idk this sounds similar to the fiat mindset in a way, you gotta disconnect from that and explore new ways. users only care about stuff being convenient, so why would they bother using nostr if legacy social media offers the most relevant content to them?
why not accept the nature of nostr where there is no guarantee of anything and pulling data from big brother relays is centralizing and bad?
i think we should keep pushing for the outbox model and keep in mind that algorithms are hard to implement when data is spread everywhere.

2025-06-19 03:02:33 UTC

- reply

why don't we have algorithms when we step outside? maybe because we are not designed to work with algorithms. there is no algorithm in real life that tells you what to look at or do. and i believe we cannot win that race against such huge companies anyway.
it is true that we are in the information era, but social media wise, nostr should probably be different and offer something new, perhaps reintroduce the natural side of human interactions? one where humans have actual free will and won't run after people or algorithms to make choices for them. i did see there are suggestions of nips for users to share what their interests are through events and such though, and overall sure why not look for new ways of doing algorithmic curation as it could attract people. but i think nostr algorithms won't ever beat big tech algorithms, probably impossible. the real change nostr brings to the table is slowly shaping itself, apps are getting faster, better and so on. i see the last few big issues for onboarding more people are UX related. (the recent spam problem is ultimately good as we're reminded that what we have is not good enough yet, its a constant work in progress)
in the beginnings of twitter, there wasn't much content on the platform and people still used it and were amazed at it, right?
i think nostr could (and to many of us, it does) give the same mind blowing moment.
as it grows and expands, people are going to come up with ideas and like with any other new technology, it will be seen as something new, not an alternative.

i suggest writing to your own relay

have you started looking into this? ive seen there are a few libraries to do homomorphic encryption

this reply is the reason why people would rather just jump straight to insults and i don't blame them for it honestly.

legally, you could be considered an accomplice. but i dont think we're talking on the legal side, more so the moral. i'll just say sure man, keep living your life not holding people accountable, don't say anything, just let it happen, you'll be fine, similar injustices couldn't happen to you right?

you're involved in it as soon as you're aware it is happening and not doing anything about it. not specific to the situation in gaza, just in general.

cashu is not self custodial by definition since its ecash. cash/ecash fundamentally depends on the trust put in a central authority. nonetheless, its a solid privacy respecting alternative to custodial wallets imo.

i get that, but i feel like nostr is one of the last options you would consider to host your paywalled content considering how the portability of data seems to be designed at its core.
and eventually the goal is to have more small relays and less big ones in favor of the outbox model, so in this sense i think the decision of taking "-" into account will be for users to make, not big brother relays.
so yeah i don't know if most people will respect "-", it seems like its never been easier to relay signed data though.

there are "pay 2 read" relays, but putting posts behind a paywall is the tricky part of it. the true value you're paying for in that kind of relay is the curation and anything else they may offer

there is no guarantee at all, "-" tag tries to go against one of nostr's strengths which is censorship resistance so it shouldnt be relied on.

every npub should have its own relay it writes to, and on clients, the outbox model should be the norm.
content discovery could happen via DVM's.
npubs could still protect their relays from data crawling bots (which would realistically be how DVM's get data) by requiring PoW or payment.
in that scenario, your private data (queries sent to relays) will get spread over multiple relays rather than all getting sent to big relays
but if you're still going to use popular big relays:
with TOR on, use relays that do not require auth, AI might still br able to figure out what your npub is, based on navigation and linking profiles together... so to solve that, have your client send more queries than needed to obfuscate the actual real traffic.
these are just random ideas so that your private data is not being analyzed and sold.

the addictive interfaces from legacy social media being reused is probably why. i wish we had more to choose from.

the portability of data on nostr is incredibly powerful and we're not ready for it.
restricting access to nostr posts is realistically not possible from a technical standpoint.
the data is just there, undeniable and signed, ready to be relayed endlessly.
and i think this dynamic might not help having actual healthy digital interactions while social tendencies like cancel culture and such are still a thing.
an entire social complexity was developed along legacy social media.
in real life, people make mistakes and they can be forgotten, unlike on social media where people's mistakes are used as weapons, haunting them forever.
the fact that everything is signed and cannot be deemed fake or made up is fascinating.
and that's just proof that this protocol is more aimed towards censorship-resistance rather than a modern day solution to legacy social media.
but the protocol is not to blame in this regard, we, people are.

venho refletindo sobre ideias para promover uma experiência user mais respeituosa, também vi esse post bem interessante:

e desde então fiquei pensando em começar uma iniciativa de trabalho (documentação ou desenvolvimento de um cliente) a favor de uma experiência mais saudável e que tenha mais sentido a longo prazo
