Calling it a cache is just a way to distract from the fact that it’s used as a crunch to deliver all the data to all the users. Users can’t read data from any other server. Achieving quick speeds with a centralized server is just a sloppy shortcut that compromises on our values.

It’s just dumb that a technical tradeoff discussion between me and laser launched into a full blown campaign from odell and miljan to call it fud and odell to call me a liar. Apparently you can’t criticize them. Where are the developers saying i’m wrong? So far it has only been investors and influencers. Most people *dont* understand that its only reading from a off-protocol server, the relay list is super deceptive, i’m also tired of explaining this to people and people saying im making it up. I’m talking about *facts about how things actually work*. its important for people to know this so that they can make informed decisions. Its not really fair to compare a real nostr clients to a client-single-server model, they are completely different systems with different properties and security models. Can we not talk about this? Noone cares? Ok great, im talking to people who do.
