Run everything from your own server at your house with your client that you create 🤷‍♀️ but i do get what you are saying

Yes I even have my own implementation using redis with a nice score but look: This is exactly as easy to been taken over by CIA as Twitter was. There’s 0 innovation happening here. Exactly what “they” did last season with Ethereum to distract the plebs.
Nostr: creates the first social protocol where every single write interaction (a like, a repost, a calendar RSVP) requires a cryptographic signature to remove the power servers have over users. Some dude: there is ZERO innovation happening here. 😆

SSB? FMS? Sone? FMS and Sone don't even *have* servers, and I'm admittedly not very familiar with SSB's implementation details.

I guess I'm not convinced privileging servers *is* an innovation. On Freenet, SSB(?), IPFS and others, it was always possible to stand up gateway servers. Having P2P primary and servers secondary seems like a superior model, despite some insistence otherwise. It seems that most nostriches have never even used the prior systems. At the end of the day though, I've always said the tech barely matters (past a certain point), the network of people is what matters. That's (primarily) why I gave up on Freenet.
As long as the server cannot change anything you do or did, and you get to choose which server to use, including putting up your own, it's a better model. Dumb server, smart client. You can always opt for P2P nostr if you want and if your friends are online at the moment.
Qui mênre le jeu dans cette nouvelle ère technologique des plateformes sur des protocoles décentralisées. Le P2P n'est pas nouveau dans d'autres continents moins équipés le mode P2P existent depuis des années sans user de banques ainsi que les disparités sociales avec juste quelque exception. Rappelons vous qu'à même sur nostr les clients la plupart entrepreneurs,, et les utilisateurs n'ont pas les objectifs, ni projets sans oublier les mêmes compétences techniques. C'est créé idem chez MZ ,X , tout se monetisera le P2P m'est avis n'est qu'un jeu de pouvoir tel que le système Fiat avec ses influenceurrs, ses pubs...rien n'est gratuit dans ce Monde ..J'en mêle les créateurs du Bitcoin J'espère avoir tort
Je n''associerais ceux qui sont à l'origine du Bitcoin .. à ce protocole...Presque que tous les clients sont dans les affaires avec leurs objectifs et résultats à terre et est-ce qu'ils partagent les mêmes valeurs ?

How is that better than no server, smart P2P client? Running a nostr relay requires having a publicly accessible server, and it doesn't provide access to the totality of nostr, just what has been posted to it. The primary objections to P2P I've seen has been speed and reliability. In my experience with Freenet, speed is the real objection, reliability is imperfect, but relays will not retain every note forever either.

To rephrase that, with nostr you *NEED* a publicly accessible server to be a full participant in the network. With P2P you can choose to run a server, even privately, to lighten the load on your end clients.
In P2P if you ARE the server. Its the same thing. You can choose to put a server up OR keep your phone connected at all times (virtually impossible these days). Otherwise, if you are offline, people would never find your posts. Think about relays as proxies to your device's database. They help others get your stuff when you are not online. Relays are not a database. They are a simple temporary storage of your notes.

> In P2P if you ARE the server. Its the same thing. Only in a very reductive sense. The accessibility requirements alone for nostr relays vs a P2P node are huge difference, and your phone does *not* need to remain online constantly to participate in Freenet (the only one of the bunch I'm willing to speak authoritatively about). The network stores the data, not just relays it. I agree freenet is probably too heavy to run on a phone but you can run a gateway, problem solved, and you have far more flexibility for how you run such a gateway, it can be totally private to you, very different from running a relay.

I don't mean to be combative about this (I hope it doesn't come off this way) ultimately like I said, the user base matters far more than the tech. I do wish nostriches were more familiar with what came before, though.
relays technically are only forwarding traffic, but the whole thing would not work without caching, so they are blending it with databases, and because of that, they are also starting to move into the realm of distributed databases. it's pretty much mandatory for nostr to blend relaying and caching together so there must also be a concomitant development of appropriate consensus algorithms that fit the use case. some people think that means blockchains but it's not needed to have strong consistency. eventual consistency, and only driven by user activity, is what seems to me like the right fit for nostr. this is solveable with merkle DAGs, tied to users. on a side note, there is a lot of confusion of domains in the discussion of architecture in nostr. it is a simple fact that the way a relay will structure its caching depends on the users. trying to make the strategy about a subject is blurring the boundary between serving users and serving an application model, and is going to lead to rigid and difficult to modify systems.
Dude this is worse. There isn't even a consensus mechanism. They must think TCP has been coopted too and that websites are centralized. I mean, a lot of people use the same central data centers, but that's completely optional. You can host a website from your house if you're brave enough lol
Mais internet et les fournisseurs d'accès qui dépendent tous d'autorités des marchés de chaque pays où ils se retrouvent ? Il y a quand un gros problème seul la Chine a dû créer ses propres câbles avec sa nouvelle route de soie , l'Iran se débrouille tout seul l'Europe demeure dépendant de l'US ..il y a un truc que je ne comprends pas. De plus aux US tout est presque dans l'état de Washington depuis Obama, Ishare de Blackrook,AWs , Bill Gate etc..
