MY FIRST JOYOUS THOUGHTS ABOUT NOSTR WAS TO CREATE INFINITE SMALL PRIVATE CLUBS BUILT ON THEIR OWN CLIENT/RELAY PAIR THAT WAS UNIQUE TO THE NATURE OF THE GROUP

SWITCHING BETWEEN CLIENTS AND RELAYS OPENED DIFFERENT WORLDS UNKNOWN

THEN EVERYONE CENTRALIZED TO BEING ON THE SAME RELAYS AND REMAKE TWITTER

I can't help but agree with this. I can't say that I really care however. I enjoy community and conversation. That's my hopes for this place. Ramming attention grabbing messages (the reason I disliked twitter so much) allows for peoples boring thoughts to fill up my feed. I want to have chats, help people, network. I'd like to think that's all I have ever done and wanted from internet based communication.

Pushback: even with "centralized" relays I don't have trouble finding things to chat with people about, randos or follows that share their interests. What I can say, is that essentially no web clients respect nip-07 relay requests, and my vault extension is primarily what I use to "swap" accounts. I just don't think aggressive relay swapping is yet well supported by clients, or likely will be by any popular one.

I think lots of us have the idea of a single distributed network, not divided into "instances' by private relays. Dunno.

I like "topic or community" relays and clients, as well as "public square" relays and clients.

I see no conflict in having both. They are different uses that can utilize the same tech stack.

Very true
