my trust score for myself went down by one point to 98%. I'd still like to ruffle some more feathers and get down to 95%. what sacred cows can I slay?
what if the spam relays and the paid relays are ran by the same people, with the spam there to get people to switch to the paid product?
Quitting my IT job was the biggest shift I’ve made in years. Most of my days used to be spent behind dual monitors, juggling endless tickets, meetings, and code reviews. Now, my screen time has dropped dramatically. I still write, code, and work on projects, but I do it by choice, not because it’s my job. My time outdoors has grown. My sleep is better. The mental fog from staring at a monitor for ten hours a day is gone.
Between December 2024 and April 2025, I moved three times. It wasn’t part of a plan, life just lined up that way. Each place taught me something about what I want: how much space I actually need, how much noise I can tolerate, how important sunlight is to my mood. After all that, I’m more deliberate now. The next move, whenever it comes, will be less about scrambling and more about settling into somewhere I can stay.
Stop Trusting Big Relays Big relays can shadowban you, throttle your posts, or drop them without warning. If you rely on them, you don’t control your voice, they do. Run your own relay. Host your notes. Edit freely. Delete when you want. No one gets to decide what you’re allowed to say. You only need to sign your relay list. Most clients aren’t checking signatures anyway. What matters is that people know where to find your real feed. Take your voice back. Stop begging to be heard. Speak from your own ground.
