🧵 Thread: The Trust Paradox (1/3)

Nostr exists to eliminate trusted third parties.

No company controls your identity. No server owns your content. No authority decides what you can say.

But then you need tools to understand the network. Relay monitors. Analytics. Health checks.

And suddenly you're back to trusting someone.

"Trust our data. Trust our metrics. Trust us."

That's a problem.

🧵 Thread: Introducing BigBrotr (1/3)

Nostr has no central authority. That's the point.

But decentralization creates blind spots. Without visibility into the network, fundamental questions go unanswered:

• How does the Web of Trust form and evolve?
• How do events propagate across relays?
• Which relays stay reachable over time? Which disappear?
• What does the social graph reveal about network health?
• How can we detect spam or malicious behavior without centralized moderation?
• Are there exploits or attack patterns we should be aware of?

These questions matter for users, developers, researchers, and the protocol itself.

We built BigBrotr to make them answerable.
