I'm kidding.

Relays don't need to centralize, gossip ensures were writing to our own relays, and we're reading from relays that our contacts are writing to. We don't all need to be on the same servers(a very fiat way of thinking about things).

Who is doing Gossip? No relays have changed. Relays need to be in Sync with one another somehow. Using many relays on a client is terrible and inefficient. Waste of bandwidth and compute power. Ditto solves most of Nostrs relay problems

A lot of clients are, even amethyst is on Android. Fiatjaf did a test with An account that only writes to its own relay, if you can see it's posts, your client is doing some form of gossip.

I am not going to rebut to your claims though, aa I said, I'm not in the mood to argue.

That's good to know. But you still need to use many Relays at the client to even have a chance at seeing the post right?

Nope when you add a contact you also store the relay your contacts are posting to, your client automatically fetches posts from those relays, you yourself don't need to add relays if all you want to do is to read posts from your contacts.

They're more for posting your events, loading global feeds and a few other things.
