Hey nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd loved the episode, thanks for your feedback on the NostrTechWeekly post. Much appreciated. Re your idea of Nostr being more similar to how Napster works. It’s an interesting idea, it just has trade offs. What you’re talking about is more P2P/Distributed system which is definitely ideal for censorship resistance. It does have performance downsides, especially as the number of things you want to share goes up (there’s only a few million songs total but there are trillions of social posts) What you’re proposing can definitely be done technically. It just may not be scalable to handle all future Nostr usage. There is wisdom to how FiatJ made Nostr a decentralized system (which is different from a distributed or P2P system with different trade offs. Decentralized might be the right balance between centralized and distributed that can be more censorship resistant than current players and also efficient enough to work as a first-rate social experience. I’m happy to chat more if you’d like. It’s a nuanced topic.
