Thanks for explanation 🤙🏼

their caching server isn’t nostr, so primal technically isn’t even a nostr client. It’s a proprietary platform that sources data from nostr. Their app only reads from this server, They can censor people (which they’ve done multiple times) and users can’t add additional relays to get around it. I have been saying this for years and everytime i do i get attacked by ten31 investors and bitcoin influencer circlejerkers who fund primal and who are also on the board of opensats (scammer odell, neighbour-of-miljan nvk who ten31 also invested in and who are all friends and also fucks over seedsigner through opensats so that only their buddies win, etc). Primal investors and bitcoin influencers hate when i point this out and claim just jealous of primal even though i dont bitch about any other nostr client. I think primal is the biggest existential risk to nostr, since it is the most popular nostr app and it risks ruining nostr’s entire reputation once they start censoring more people and if their client starts crashing/disappears. people will think nostr is censored, centralized, and unreliable. I will continue to point this out because its crazy to me people still don’t know this and push unsuspecting noobs to it.

100% agree. This is also my experience when criticising Bitcoiners from a privacy/fungibility/anonymity perspective that naturally aligns with Monero.

Wisp uses the outbox model, not a caching server. Relays are definitely not my area of expertise, and the guy capable of explaining that better than me just wrecked his car and is taking a vacation this weekend, so don’t bother him today.

People should really try non primal clients. Very different experience - Wisp, Amethyst, Jumble, etc. I haven't tried Damus yet.
