FediOnFire, a Fediverse project similar to Firesky, which offers an IRC-like view of the global firehose, has shut down after a misunderstanding led to community backlash.

    I don’t like Gleason or nostr but this happened with mostr too lol, people were getting real up in arms accusing it of duplicating accounts, going so far as to DMCA the project. but that’s literally how federation works, any account or post that’s federated is cached on the instance lol. it’s like people don’t realize that their public posts are public

      To be totally fair, nostr’s whole thing is that users can delete all of their federated data if they want to, so it makes sense if they are upset about having their data copied to a place they can’t control.

      Not sure how realistic that is with the data being publicly accessible via the web, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the they have some kind of license that gives the dmca request the ability to hold a nonzero amount of water. Then again, I wouldn’t be suprised if completely fails, either.

        nostr relays can comply with delete requests or not, same with fedi servers. pretty sure they all do though and relays don’t share posts with each other. there’s a couple of crawler services like nostr.band and noswhere for search and indexing, but if you delete your fedi post or don’t post publicly it should be gone from mostr
