Because nobody wants to stifle creativity. We now have a couple dozen kinds of relays that users don't know how to manage or even have visibility into which relays do what. Nostr is becoming a place only devs will be able to use.

The complexity of nostr is growing far faster than we are able to wrangle and make usable for plebs and I'm afraid it is becoming unsustainable.

This is a middle of the night sick stomach ramble. I may not be thinking clearly. Please discuss among yourselves while I get back to sleep.

I largely agree Mike. I'm a pleb with very limited, to say the least, technical ability. It does work for me but I don't fuck about with the settings too much because I'd only break it😂. I do try to read the technical posts that the devs write but it's mainly just🤯 to me😬.

Agree--still not quite sure how to leverage relays...but this will all come--the innovation is the important part. "Catching up" on documentation, FAQs, primers etc. can happen later. For now, go forth and create!! 😃

What are the dozen different type of relays? Why should non devs care? How might app devs make these distinctions apparent to end users?

If we standardize relay functionality, this makes development difficult, ossifies the infrastructure and reproduces the "federation" protocol constraint. If there were a standard "documentation" message so the client operators can make an educated decision, this may allow enough flexibility to preve...

I cant even solve this for users: some relay advertises itself under thousands of different URLs. How can users now manage that? According to every NIP relays are defined by a URL which includes a path part. I have to therefore treat them as separate relays. I don't want to capture users and say "i...
