Oh cool, I always hear people talking about things like the outbox model, or the gossip model. I'm excited to finally have a conversation about these, especially if you might answer questions.
I notice that in the first link's explanation, Mister F. is a follower of Miss P. And I notice that the second link's explanation states that the mechanics of the specification apply when seeking events from a particular user.
Additionally, the explanations from the links don't seem to place any value in understanding a relay's reasons for blocking notes from a particular person. Maybe shouldn't Mister F. inquire as to why Miss P. was banned from four different relays before he follows her? And the second link mentions explicitly that the outbox model doesn't help users when selecting topic-oriented relays.
These are important to me because so much of my Nostr experience is about the notes and the interactions rather than the specific people those interactions are with. I don't want anyone to have to follow me in order to talk with me! For example, neither of us are following eachother and I was not specifically seeking your notes when I started this conversation. I regularly search keywords in global so that I can scroll through the results.
If the author and the reader are most interested it content based filtering then how does the outbox model compare to just opening as many connections as possible? Do you have any recommendations for these use cases? Thanks.
