I didn't join #nostr with any intent to stop using [insert centralized social platform here]. I'm here on an exploration, not a crusade. Nevertheless, I've quickly found myself spending more time on nostr than any other - even though I have several fairly large Twitter/X lists following people (almost none on nostr) in certain niches where I like to stay up to date.
Now that's quite probably due to the newness and exploratory nature of my experience. But I see great potential here - even with the "Beta test" nature of it all.
Relays should be as easy to deploy as WordPress instances. Ditto for media servers. Being able to spin one up via relay.tools is a good start, as is being able to buy your own preconfigured hardware/software node from an umbrel or Start9.
I'd like to be able to deploy one on the VPS I already have, located in a data center I like, run by people I know. Unless there is some technical barrier I've missed, any decent VPS ought to be able to run it.
Hopefully that day will come soon .
