No, that breaks the principle "dumb relays, smart clients".

Running a relay must mean just running a relay and nothing more. That's the whole point of Nostr.

It's serverless. The moment you turn relays into servers you got censorship and algos back.

Good point.. yes.. more reflection needed. 🤙🏼

Akshually … filters on relays is not only better for bandwidth and for “dumb” phones, but also opens the marketplace for end users to “subscribe” to and share the best filters, across clients.

Freedom of choice is what makes Nostr censorship resistant, not rigid protocols or lack of algos.
