One UK gov organisation believes I wasn't an employee of a company I *absolutely* worked for for 9 years. Another UK gov organisation thinks I'm not living in the UK.

Yeah relays are a UX killer sadly. But it’s also the thing that makes nostr so different. Thing is, right now most relays are the same except their quality which does make a huge difference but in terms of content they are not that much different to an outsider coming here. What would make nostr m...
