Anonymity + federation │ │ = spam, a hypothesis verified by NNTPchan, Multichan, and Fchannel all │ │ alike. I was thinking: what about a *chan based around the use of PGP │ │ keys? it would reduce spam and make it easier for users/instances to │ │ filter out low quality content. Then I stumbled upon Nostr protocol... │ │ │ │ I'm debating whether to make a proper multichan sequel with PGP support │ │ and better moderation tools, building on multichan/pohon source, or │ │ building a *chan-like frontend for Nostr network. While Nostr is less │ │ anonymous than multichan, it is much more resilient and gives users a │ │ ton of great tools. │ │ │ │ Nostr is intended to be a microblogging-like service, but it isn't │ │ necessarily one. There are wiki, blog, and market softwares built on │ │ the protocol. (not to mention, end-to-end encrypted messaging) See │ │ some Nostr-verse software here: │ │ │ │ http://nostr.net/ │ │ │ │ Even though multichan had cool ideas, spam was a nightmare and for... 2 years? │ │ there has been to my knowledge only one node operating, and it got very little │ │ traffic. So I simply didn't see any point to make it keep living and put it │ │ out of its misery. If you can convince me why it should be brought back, I'll │ │ consider it, as a subdomain here or on //4x13.net │ │ │ │ If there is to be a multichan2 at some point, aside from PGP, I would also │ │ like it to maintain a living archive of all known textboards and make it easy │ │ for people to scrape other sources to generate threads. This was part of my │ │ plan for multichan from the start although I never got around to it. │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 3. │ n i n n & F I ( S │ o t o o e a o │ s s s w e d n r │ t m t t h l o d r │ r a r r a s n y │ y t ' O │ j i m l t h i │ u p s a " i , f │ s o y R k n │ t s n e e e b m │ s o s l e t e │ p e t e a t d w │ r s e y h b │ e s m " e t d e │ v s e r w o i │ e a r l i e i n n │ n m v i s t ' g │ t e e k a t t │ s r e j r e a │ u l u e r u │ s n e s s s b │ p r s l t m a e i │ a e s i o n t │ m s , g r r a c │ o h e e l e d │ i l n t i o n o │ s v o l n f g t w │ s e r y c u u r n │ u d a n e a e │ e p p r d , l r │ p 2 o n a i │ & r p l a m z o │ o . i t e I e n │ a b s i n d │ d l a h o t n n │ d e n e n a e p o │ s m d l e r s │ s n o s d o t │ t o r f p r │ r o s e t p r . │ u f t b e h 2 i │ s r i c a p e │ t i r h t t │ p r t o j a │ t f e h n i r │ o s l m e r y │ / a o a e a │ t w y f i d . g │ h e l ! │ e b w w i t t │ 3 h e n o h │ e . o b g u │ q 3 l b b │ u " i e ) │ a h p s . │ t o o t r │ i s i e │ o t n c s │ n s t o o │ .

(optional) in nostr - if Relay & Client go offline, where is content hosted? - Relay stores content. Does it store entire archive of whole network? And able to read and see data stored & who posted what. Or be flooded. - nostr seems like can't run decentralized sql, same poroblem of web3, ipfs (thats hosts only static content)
