But…

It is foolish how he thought Telegram could indefinitely operate a network without default E2E encryption and not play ball with regimes.

I see the same sort of presumption from Nostr devs/proponents ignoring the core architectural problem of needing relays.

Probably an unpopular opinion but it has to be said. Relays will be the death of Nostr but it’s not too late to fix it. The protocol is still in its infancy.

How are relays different from nodes ? Bitcoin has nodes.

How they are discovered (btc nodes uses dns seeds not only hard coded list), the number of nodes and how big they are for example?

In principle, unless we have central directories, relays that are run decentrally by anyone with an interest in securing the peer to peer network , should be good

No ? I don't know the exact functionality of these relays. That functionality may be the problem.
