relays will not be communities

communities will instead have a need for relays so they can preserve their content for future access, not “isolate” their content

many communities will run without a dedicated relay and many relays will exist serving multiple communities, or none

If there is a community that wants to be on nostr of the community can get resources to run their specialized relay. Its not about making ALL relays more isolated, but about fine grained control over who you allow in your relay. We shouldn't be looking to create a single town square, but smaller ones with cohesive values.

because there will exist relays to serve anyone, some to serve a client’s users, some paid, so on

people will not want to spin up a relay for a small community, and would rather use infra they pay for

one reason reddit wins imo because it is way simpler to spin up a community, you do not need hosting expertise, you do not need to pay for expensive relay hosting (there’s a reason web hosts share one mysql deployment across multiple tenants)
