I don't have any ideas, but I would be happy to do it. I think the name "relay" should be abandoned. I don't like it, it's ugly, dry, hard to pronounce, hard to translate.
We could replace it with 2 or 3 different names for different types of Nostr message servers.
Oh boy, get ready for the "relays are the standard" mob and their pitchforks.
I'm going to be thinking about this all day. Maybe I'll finally come up with my feedback test note. :)
Planet
I like it, but what exactly are planets? Normal outbox relays? Automated feed relays? Niche and community relays? Special inbox relays? NIP-29 provider relays?
Comets, asteroids, meteors, stars?
I was thinking of planets as relays that specifically provide feeds. Each planet has its own rules and brings together like-minded people to interact. Switching between relays is like hopping over to another planet to hang out.
As for the other relays, I haven’t really figured out names for them yet haha
nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk may be interested.
I'm following you and wanted to mention you for the same reason.
I like the idea (yours too) of relays as something people move between.
I don't know if giving them different names would actually help, maybe it's better to use attributes/adjectives.

Relays are just “event stores”
