more distributed content getting to interested parties is what this enables

i didn't say "broadcast" in the literal sense, that's just the word that nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 picked for the function that pushes new events to subscribers really they are updates

the outbox model could run without any major relays caching large amounts of notes if everyone could host their own cache relay

ok, also, maybe technically this is "distributed" but it's a bit fuzzy between decentralized and distributed when replication is not the goal but propagation to interested parties (pub/sub)
