yes. if we dont run our own relays a few things will (already have) happen.

1) clients throw away that entire relay configuration page because "muh users cant understand", and just use one big relay.

2) outbox never happens, so running your own relay is useless.

3) we all end up on primal, and other clients cant even see the notes because the 'relay' does not serve other nostr clients the notes.

4) primal is forced to censor.

5) no apps or relays are left and primal corp is exactly like twitter but with kyc zaps and advertising and secret trending algos.

I mostly building for Community admin to run their own relay, media server, mint, ...

Individual users: the incentives rarely line up. I see a lot of #complainstr ahead if we hope for that and especially if we hope for the Twitter copy-cats to tailor their UX to that.

Primal has NWC.

I tried looking into outbox but didn’t find any good documentation

As a nostr noob I have huge problems with customized relay setup. There does not seem to be any comprehensive guide. I am dependend on nerds dropping hints in notes and comments.
