Some of the issues with h.

- There are broken threads on notes where I see a response but can’t see the note they are responding.

- How relays work is confusing for users in terms of how a client uses their relay list.
- If you follow a user and they switch relays you may no longer see their notes. (So what does following mean in practical terms.)
- If you drop a relay you can lose followers.
- Users have little or no visibility into where their social graph data lives.
- Clients are inconsistent in implementation of events and data provides with notes posted.
- Bandaids (like Blastr posting every not to every relay) are not a cure, but hide the disease.
- When possible clients should post notes with the “cookie crumbs” that will help smart clients follow a trail to find them. (It worked for Hansel & Gretel)
- Clients should provide more visibility into the association of users, notes, and relays. (I believe some clients are showing where the note was found.)
