there's no difference in terms of spam prevention, its really just to have an anchor for the creator to define the name, banner, and description. if you don't care about those things you can just use a hashtag (#physics) or namespace (!sci.physics.quantum) anchor.

I've always wanted explicit to/cc on notes, so I would throw that in there as well for relay filtering and better hinting:

this is a combining my original mailing list idea with communities i guess

also with a user anchor they can also update the description with addressable events, as well as create relay lists for finding the canonical location, etc.

the forking and moderation slicing is undefined and can be grown onto the spec later ?
