#wotathon -> #wopathon?

That time when your test app goes from 2 hours to import 2 million kind 3 events to 8 minutes while keeping all indexes in place. 🕺🕺

Are there web of trust relays that respond based on the web of trust of the logged-in user via NIP-42 instead of the web of trust of the relay itself? Meaning that the relay accepts and stores everything that comes, but if I log in to use the relay, it removes everyone I muted from the resulting stream of events. Maybe it even sorts by my web of trust scores instead of sorted by created at? I think all wot relays I know block inserts if you don't have a good web of trust. I kinda want the opposite. This would be great for public inbox relays: it accepts every notification to the user but doesn't show to my Client if I have muted the sender or if the person is not over a given score.

In every Nostr project, there is this moment when the dev realizes that Nostr's decentralization is quite a burden and the project could be faster, simpler, and better if it didn't use Nostr at all. The dev then starts to drift away from Nostr into their own protocol spec, just to realize that they are now alone—the single user of a new protocol/platform—and most of the benefits of a decentralized social layer are gone. It's weird how much we underestimate the social benefits of Nostr in exchange for minor engineering benefits in our own projects.
