This framing of outbox vs proxy relays on separate sides is disingenuous at best.

My main criticism of outbox model has always been that it will REQUIRE intermediaries to be usable on most clients if nostr users spread out across more relays.

If all I wanted was for the “smart proxy relays to win” I wouldn’t bother having these conversations.

The fact that any criticism of outbox model is received as “you must have another agenda” or “you must be too lazy to update your client” doesn’t help convince anyone that it’s a good idea. nostr:note1hpug30zkz2j43eh5yvg389v4m60y4jq8nt43zytqeantp2q0rkpq790wvs
