Most of history is filled with the blight of violence, over people putting too much importance in both imaginary lines and imaginary characters, and not enough on improving body, mind & community.

We need the metaphorical equivalence of a milestone somewhat like the declaration of independence.
I could see it being more of a personal pledge, a commitment really, a list of guiding principles that that could serve as a foundation for identifying the collective.

Rent/Mortgage - non-negotiable.
Internet Bill - fixed amount, specific day per-month.
Water Bill - variable/consumption based, non-negotiable, specifc day
V4V/charity - completely optional

Yes, I like this line of thinking. A richer experience around control would be great.
But, need to keep merchants in mind too.
Needs to be win-win.
I think the clients should be able to control, on a per-merchant, or per invoice-feed, basis if the payment is automatically paid. And merchants should be able to programmatically supply deadlines, if the payments aren't made by a certain time, then service may be encumbered. The wallet could use this information, to conditionally auto-pay an invoice, if the invoice hasn't been rejected manually by a certain point in time. Of course all of this behaviour should be user configurable.
Are you also working on this problem?

2023-10-12 01:43:50 UTC

Intent with the raid idea is that the users have to have the relays that Alex Jones trusts already in their settings to get the list of his updated relays. And those relays could specialize in just serving deplatform risk mitigation.
Idea might not be fully baked. Dunno. Maybe there is something there, not sure.

He can run a relay with all his archived content.
The colluding relays have a reputation to manage.
What if we raided gossip related events, similar to hard drives? Break up your message, say 5 ways, where only 3 of the 5 are needed to unscramble. Send 5 to different relays. Not a silver bullet, but makes de-platforming harder.

What if relays split into three types?
indexing relays - Clients post and query profiles and relay information. These would be much more economically cheaper to run, search, etc. Node cost is inversely proportional to node. You could run this over POST and GET, and results could be turned into static files, which can be served wicked fast. People would be expected to re-index this, and propagate it, across the globe. UX would speed up huge, cause regular relays wouldn't be getting hit with "Hey, do you have data about this user, no? oh - okay". API could be far richer too.
read-relays - Optimized for search, filtering, serving. Anybody can still write, but the writes would be slow / more-expensive.
write-relays - Optimized for publishing, and fanning out to the read-relays. Anybody can still read, but the reads would be slow / more-expensive.

Yah, if a client is pulling the same data multiple times, between navigations, it's harmful, IMHO. It should cache and index locally.
