So well that lots of nostr software is broken and the developers don&#39;t even know it is broken because blastr fixes it for them. It is like everybody is riding their bicycles with training wheels on, and we don&#39;t have a clear idea who what software would fall over if the training wheels came off.&#xA;&#xA;If events were not being copied (at least for a while) then the community of devs could find and fix the insufficiencies. But is that a pipe dream?&#xA;&#xA;Secondarily, I don&#39;t like the inefficiencies of copying events all over the place and I think that won&#39;t scale as nostr grows. But that is a self-correcting problem.&#xA;&#xA;ON THE INBOX MODEL:&#xA;&#xA;Outbox model is now also being challenged by &#34;inbox model&#34; (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/discussions/1134, https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1135). I think these relay usage patterns can co-exist.&#xA;&#xA;These models of following people have different properties. Compared to the outbox model, the inbox model has these properties:&#xA;&#xA;* The publisher improves their reach by pushing their events to many relays&#xA;* It is easy to see and count who is following the publisher&#xA;* The publisher can cut you off, and you cannot follow someone secretly under this model&#xA;* Readers only have to read from their own approved relays, not random ones they might not trust. This might also be nice for power-limited phones.&#xA;* Worse overhead because events are copied to all the recipient relays, which might be a lot of copies.&#xA;* It is not clear where reactions and replies go, or if everybody participating in a converstaion sees the reactions/replies of everybody else participating&#xA;&#xA;nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6&#xA;nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6</html></oembed>
