Imagine all relays holding all posts from everybody in the entire world. Does that look scalable?

In any case, this is what Peter Todd was saying: if all posts are in all relays the smaller relays will die, people will naturally flock to a small set of the biggest and most reliable relays, then everybody will just publish to these and all posts will be on these, suddenly these relays can block anyone they want.

Could relays self-propogate note references, without content, so people can see that something was posted on the relay and which one they would need to subscribe to? The note content could just be "Note posted to wss:/something.nostr" which would bring awareness to users on missing notes. The more centralization gets abused the more users will see note references, with an implied suggestion to use said relays.

Shut me down lightly 🤣

That was kind of the idea of having relay hints whenever you reply to a note, and relay hints when you "repost" a note. It would be a nudge to other clients receiving your note that you are reading stuff from some other relays they should check out.
