haha, no, i follow you, so you have access to wss://mleku.realy.lol - this is my deployment of the relay i am building

realy has a simple built-in access control that is based on designating owner pubkeys and then if it can who i follow, and who my follows follow, every npub it can find out of those it whitelists for access

it also has a spider that tries to find all of those lists and the latest versions if they update, every hour it pokes at two random relays it finds from all the relay lists stored in the database

of course you can zap me for the work but i don't see the sense in that unless you are actually using it for your own business or purposes

if you want to run your own relay, it's a good option, IMO, but there is some serious quirks with AUTH with most of the clients out there, there is issues being raised on the nips repo and such but i personally have turned my back on most of the well known nostr devs, because they are dumbass, brainwashed, superstitious and cliquey little upstarts who can't even write a text parser
