Russia has started restricting mobile internet with whitelists — you can only visit sites that have been approved. I suspect they’ll eventually whitelist the entire web, which would let the authorities block VPNs and Tor bridges.
Right now it’s not clear which sites are on the list. Things are pretty unstable, but once the whitelist becomes clearer you could hide Nostr events inside a whitelisted project and then extract them via a Russian relay that isn’t on the whitelist but is connected to a relay in a “friendly” country — from there the event could spread worldwide.
Ideas so far: split events into chunks, exploit Unicode where filters were overlooked, or even hide events inside images. Receiving events will be harder, but still possible.

People want money, and free relays hardly earn any. The fact that some pay Primal, Nostr.build, Nostr.wine is at least some guarantee that tomorrow your blogs and chats will actually be seen.

StrChat in the console 😅



Трафик русского релея от kind 1 клиентов упал практически до нуля, зато чаты (kind 20000) нормально так поднялись. Уже давно kind 1 обогнали. Следом хорошо идут фото (kind 20) и влоги (kind 21, 22).
Nostr уже не тот, каким мы его знали.
I’ve got a bit of magic for you.

It's kind of fascinating to see how people can shift from saying "I stand with Ukraine" to "I support Putin". The truth is, you don't really have to pick a side at all — especially if you're not directly involved and the conflict doesn't touch your life.
Что вам нужно от релея? Уникальная возможность набросать хотелок за бесплатно. Только не про шифрование 😅
Из-за того что релей больше не собирает и не модерирует посты на русском языке, сообщество Рустра разломилось по отдельным релеям и читать вас из одного источника больше нельзя. Выхода тут два. Первый (правильный) — добавить wss://adre.su в свои списки Inbox/Outbox, второй — ждать, когда я снова начну собирать эти заметки.
