The explanation is here:
I'm going to be making some major changes to my nostr priorities moving into 2025, in three main areas:

Advancing Outbox/Inbox

- my bots and I are now only posting to a few small relays. That means if your client does not support outbox, you're not likely to see our posts anymore.
- I have disabled blastr on my haven relay (other users are still welcomed to use it of course)
- I am now only using clients that fetch relays correctly, current daily driver is Gossip
- heavy focus on improving UX for haven to get more users running it, including one click installation on umbrel/start9 and windows PCs.

Algorithm Relays

- Many of us here have self selected for a chronological algorithm, but what about the 99% of users who try nostr and then leave? My theory is that platforms like twitter and tiktok are much better at retention because most people actually do prefer algorithms. And so with that, I will be prioritizing building the ultimate algorithm relay (WIP at https://jouble.surge.sh/)
- Make it easy for anyone to run any kind of algorithm they want, whether that is a good vibes algo, a rage bait algo, a viral algo, anything they want, and support a robust open market for users to choose from.

Content Bots

- Ensuring you don't have to leave nostr to get the information you want.
- First iteration is mostly newsbots, but this will expand to many more types of content

A lot more focus on building, a lot less focus on shitposting, and taking a more principled approach to nostr development.

love you nostr <3
