maybe i should keep it running after seeing how many people are using this event to promote their own products. if you want to help support the damus relay please get a damus purple sub! let me know what custom relay features you would like to see as a purple user!

🚨 The Damus relay (relay.damus.io) is retiring at the end of July! 🚨 @jb55 has announced he's retiring the ole gal. Here's what you need to do: 1. Update your Nostr profile and swap out relay.damus.io for healthy alternatives 2. Check your apps' hardcoded relays as many clients ship with it baked in 3. Vibe coders, listen up, if you're building Nostr apps with LLMs, check your default relays! Models love to default to relay.damus.io and relay.nostr.band. ⚠️ Remove relay.nostr.band too as it's been dead for over a year. Good replacements: relay.ditto.pub, relay.primal.net, nos.lol, purplerelay.com if you like large public relays. Though, my recommendation would be to choose smaller, lesser known relays and Web-of-Trust relays. These will help with spam and decentralization. Update your relay lists while you still can! Bonus: visit https://syncstr.shakespeare.wtf and sync your profile data from Damus to other relays.

I'm not removing the Damus relay until it's officially gone! I actually use it, it's seems like a good relay.
I guess you missed the part where i am asking for subscriptions to pay for the relay, but i guess you’re just retarded, but i already knew that

For what it's worth, I believe that you are a trustworthy relay operator Derek. But we have a major problem here.
