@fiatjaf you prly been asked this before, what's your sense on the matter of having clients connect to each relay separately instead of a more decentralized model like irc with a family of relays providing one network of messaging traffic?

I'm trying in my mind to give nostr a place/position, and I feel like the distributed model creates an excessive need for client connections, and for relays coping with huge numbers of incoming connections.

Also, is it easier to miss out on conversations because there are so many individual relays instead of select IRC-esque large hubs?

Am I wrong? Am I exagerating my expectations? Am I misinterpreting this? I am somewhat bugged by this model as if there's a looming longevity/sustainability issue.

Hmm .. maybe, to some extent, but my experience is people recognizing it and letting it fade and continuing an apathetical attitude. That's observing the emotion and not giving a damn even though you know it's wrong.

Even though all this text elaborates and illuatrates the point, the *only* thing relevant is 'story', but 'story' is possibly the most disrespectful word that could have been chosen. If you truly understand this, you should be able to do much better and in particular if you want to relate it to intensity (prly more than longevity), or otherwise — I would claim — you do not understand it.

🤨 I'm giving you a chance to defend your position. I am still curious whether you'd convince me.
