A million cooks in the kitchen will just lead to a mess. Luckily with nostr I can test my app without releasing because it has a ton of users already! All nostr accounts and posts appear. Compromising on basic functionality in exchange for scale is exactly what all the shitcoiners do. There are basic principles that you just don’t violate. Building an app isn’t the same as building something that’s supposed to be embedded with cypherpunk values. If you don’t get it, you aren’t a cypherpunk.

Ah now the ad hominems come out. Please educate me on how to be more cypherpunk. I just find it disingenuous that other devs call Primal (an open sourced client with an open sourced caching relay) “proprietary”. Anyway, I’m genuinely curious, what exactly do you have a problem with regarding Primal? I learned today about Primal supposedly caching images and then pointing towards their own server instead of the original url in the imeta tag. I was surprised and really don’t like that choice, but I haven’t confirmed it myself yet and want to learn more about why they do that. As a dev yourself, what are your major issues with how they do things?
