Haha, event kind 24 for public messages alerts is so "smart" move. Just in playing the same "bad cop & good cop" tactics, which eventually makes free Internet sh*tty: from one side there are heavy restrictions on access to non-certified nodes (gov/big tech bad cop), on the other side there are ad noise which kills self-personalization of feeds and self-diversification of relays (proto-big tech/influencer good cop). However, it's still far from another mass media retardation bc note length is usually limited for several KBs and bots have limited computational resources to crawl users massively, but it's one of mid-points to it. Luckily nostr-rs-relay has an option to disable certain kinds of events (including the nostr-rs-relay-x fork). I just disable kind 24 on my relays. And I always use Nostr for connecting with people who share my interests and worldview, to learn new stuff, to share my technologies and knowledge, to keep the Internet in hands of ordinary people like us. #nostr #relay #relaydev #programming #softwareengineering #indietech
