Idea for nostr: relays should ONLY store a list of event IDs so you can query a list of the users most recent posts. Storage of the posts themselves should be pushed to a p2p content-addressed storage backend like freenet, tahoe-lafs, dht (BitTorrent) or similar. You request a note? You are now serving that note to others. Every client becomes a relay. Since everything is signed by a key there's no risk of impersonation. The nostr relay solves the issue of "what are this person's most recent posts" without having to deal with the storage and headaches that come from actually storing the posts themselves. This also solves a number of privacy concerns that come from relays being the centralized place people fetch content from. It also solves the blossom/media storage problem. #nostr

If your response to adversity and situations you don't like doesn't start with "how did I contribute to this", you will not grow and learn. It doesn't matter if it's "not your fault", asking whose at fault is the wrong question. You are a person, not a court. First ask yourself how you found yourself in this situation, how your actions contributed to it, if at all, and how you can avoid it in the future. After you've done all that, assign all the blame you want. Yes, this is for everything, the more extreme the situation the more important it is to ask that question so you can avoid it. Maybe the answer is there's nothing you could have done to avoid it. That's fine. But give yourself the opportunity to be honest and grow by asking it.
