its really not burdensome, its like $200 a month, could probably be cheaper

well that's great! Sounds like Nostr is in no danger of shutdown because billionaires aren’t going to give millions to keep relays online, in complete contrast to the FUD from censorious Mastodon/ActivityPub apologists. I’d guess that all of these multimillion dollar grants are either being wasted on bullshit or going towards development, but we can be assured that relay operation is not burdensome and the network is here to stay.

This is ignoring the scale. Nostr isn't as big as Mastodon let alone Bluesky. But yes it is good news regardless.

running a mastodon node was absolutely retarded. I tried to build my own activitypub node and failed because the protocol was so bad. Then I realized everyone would need to run a node to gain sovereignty. Completely dead in the water protocol if you care about freedom.

You don’t need millionaires! Relay operators will charge monthly/annual fees. Problem solved
