no built-in incentives, but external to the protocol, like bring part of the offering of a company/product.
Risk is always storing stuff that is deemed illegal, buuut events are just text (json), so the CSAM picture is not actually in the event, it's just a link (If that holds in court idk)
Incentive to running a personal is that you have the ability to relay your own notes. You don’t have to rely on other people to post your own notes.
Risks. Not too many. With a private relay you’re the only one that can write to it.
Risks are completely different with public relays
Need a super slick app to manage your own relay like alby hub for nodes
That would be choice 🤙 the minute I show someone a .env they freak out
CODE IS SPEECH, FUCK THEM & RUN WHATEVER YOU WANT
You want to own your content, run your own relay. Some even have handy backup features like Haven where you can back up to AWS or Digital Ocean.
