A gentle reminder that Nostr's censorship resistance is only as strong as the infrastructure it rides on — and DNS is often the weakest link.
If an ISP or host sees activity that raises flags (rightly or wrongly), they can and do take relays offline. Vultr and DigitalOcean are actually among the more lenient providers, which makes such takedowns noteworthy.
For stronger resistance, you might want to look at #pubky, which takes a more torrent-like approach without relying on DNS. Also, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpqacg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeysd4uw6r has been exploring nostr-next, where relay pubkeys are their identities — a step toward deeper decentralization. And did-nostr is growing into a way to discover relays and agents purely via pubkeys.
So just a heads up — if you're running anything that even smells "suspicious," relying on DNS or traditional VPS hosts can quickly become a game of whack-a-mole.

Standardizing it in a NIP is good, but doesn't help with people using it wrong.
It's funny (and sad) that both of the issues in the original post there just stem from using Markdown wrong, and have nothing to do with Nostr or interop. Newlines without double spaces mean nothing in Markdown (for good reason, so you can format your source document better), and the image syntax is just plain wrong.
Clients should obviously at least implement Markdown rendering according to the Markdown spec, if they're not using a library that does it for them.
@ 1f79058c:eb86e1cb
2025-04-23 15:18:11
This is a small thing, and the demo case is kind of silly (because there's an open-with-nostr button under the articles it's currently working for). Nevertheless, if you publish articles on the Web as well as on Nostr, would you consider adding this HTML element to your pages?
https://nostr.kosmos.org/@raucao/link-rel-nostr
Also, if you're working a Nostr client that renders previews for linked content of any kind, you might want to parse that element and adapt your UI for Web pages that tell you about Nostr versions of their content.
Also please do let me know if you think I'm doing things wrong, or if you have any other kind of feedback. Thanks!
@ 1f79058c:eb86e1cb
2025-04-23 15:08:54
Yes, I'm not overly happy with that either. I wrote my own article rendering for public HTML pages on our relay and there were quite a few edge cases from inconsistent usage to work out, too. Some clients repeat the title in the content for example. Lots of small issues like that. :/
@ 1f79058c:eb86e1cb
2025-04-23 10:33:45
OK, so Habla lost a draft of mine (and its whole relay page/loading is broken for me now) and I wasn't able to load it in any other client for long-form content either. The NIP-23 ecosystem in general is just rather messy and buggy.
So I ended up creating bash scripts to export all my drafts to Markdown files, with meta data in frontmatter format, as well as publishing updates from those Markdown files via nak.
(I hope the Deno folks release Fresh 2.0 soon, because I'm waiting to port Substr to it and actually add a decent, non-buggy publishing UI.)

2025-04-21 17:49:44
Wallets that support zaps should offer notification settings for threshold amounts, as well as zaps without a message for example. It's a very simple feature to implement.
Here's an example from Kosmos account settings:
https://image.nostr.build/5a8d2e87d16f75a23a1bfa42774c3fde3583ef4bda7b093a550a4f61f0a580a1.png
@ 3bf0c63f:aefa459d
2025-04-17 15:21:49
And that would be a very cheap operation that doesn't hurt decentralization.
Unlike some other ideas I've seen people have over and over for "algorithms" on Nostr, which involve someone downloading "all notes" (as if such concept made sense on Nostr) and then running them through some pipeline.
@ 3bf0c63f:aefa459d
2025-04-17 15:20:27
Suppose there is a relay that only accepts PoW notes, another that only accepts notes from your WoT, another that only accepts notes once they got enough zaps or likes, another that is manually curated by a group of people, another that only takes notes from people that pay to publish, another that only takes notes classified as talking about some given subject.
Then we could have a client mode that fetches from all these, then only displays notes that have showed up in at least 2, or 3, of these -- or whatever combination.

Nobody lost funds, the Megalith LSP currently has network issues which causes a channel to be shown offline. This is how the lightning network works.

The correct framing here is not that Nostr has evil content, but that _some relays_ do.
These relays are not Nostr, Nostr is only the language your client uses to download the content from the relay, and your device only downloads what it asks for and from the servers it chooses to.
