True.

Thinking aloud for this thread:

I think this topic will always be contested. Some people will want privacy, others transparency. I guess we will always have to meet in the middle. I err more to the transparency side. If single body/council decides how much reach a note gets, I would probably point a finger an claim censorship, I think I have in the past. Doesn't mean I want to take away their right to control THEIR platform. An example might be a popular client that curates feeds for users, especially if they make it difficult to disable those filters.

As far as the protocol is concerned, I mean its just a websocket, a database, and some keys, so we can do whatever TF we want with it.
