The problematic incentives that come from smashing all relays together into a single pool with a "single" community. You need to be angry and scream to be noticed.
Discussion
For now ? It seems like a lot of y’all are coming up with some interesting solutions that I look forward to learning more about and using (increasing amount of small relays, gossip/outbox, etc.)
what I'm more saying is we need closed communities. yes decentralization, yes gossip/outbox etc. A melting pot is nice but we need closed communities to help encourage a focused & thematic discussion.
Nostr groups are a mess and i argue the simplest implementation is select the relay(s) for a specific community you want to be in. Will UX be difficult? Maybe, but just like a feed where only posts with a single hashtag comes through, you can do the same for relays.
Always optional. Like a faucet, you & the relays choose what level of openness you want.
