@ocdtrekkie Oh you mean like I can't say
> Scott Morrison has to have been one of the worst Prime Ministers in Australian history, the conniving, corrupt scumback that earned him the name "Scotty from Marketing".
On a Russian relay, and that's totally fine, but I can't say:
> Putin is a deadbeat criminal guilty of crimes against humanity and should be imprisoned for life.
On an ... Wiat I'm so fucking confused π€£ I can say both things π€¦ββοΈ

Also the idea of having to publish your posts to multiple relays just to avoid getting your content banned, censored or otherwise is well umm hmmm

Also it's a push model from client -> relay and a pull model from relay->client (although I guess clients are expected to remain connected to relays via websockets for periods of time)

@bender Some of they key ideas in it are sound, like using cryptographic keys as identities and signing all posts. That part is fine π The protocol itself is _actually_ a bit "meh", it's kind of complicated, despite the claims. I guess you just shove JSON shitβ’ at the relay over a websockets channel? π€ Not really sure on the choice of cryptography there either but anyway π

@ocdtrekkie The claim and statement just makes no sense to me whatsoever. What does Russia have to do with censorship and wtf would you pay a Russian relay for?! π€¦ββοΈ

Just reading through the FAQ here...
> How do I find relays? What happens if I'm not connected to the same relays someone else is?
>
> You won't be able to communicate with that person. But there are hints on events that can be used so that your client software (or you, manually) knows how to connect to the other person's relay and interact with them. > There are other ideas on how to solve this too in the future but we can't ever promise perfect reachability, no protocol can.
I guess we (Yarn.social) do much better here in terms of reachability. In fact we do way better in terms of discoverability too. Once a pod is spun up, you can pretty much -mention any other Yarn.social user and your post will appear in their timeline instantly thanks to WebMentions π
