I took a break from nostr over a year ago to focus on health issues. When I returned, I was pleasantly surprised to find my profile and notes still online. I figured relay operators would purge old, dormant accounts to reduce their hosting fees. I guess this proves #nostr is more robust that I thought. Also, because my follow list was preserved, I instantly saw posts from familiar faces like @Derek Ross, still working hard to build the community. Love to see it!
