But doesn't this run on home servers instead of client-relay network? In that case Comm, using Keyservers, already exists (although the web3 part of Comm is severely lacking).
Discussion
Comm has potential, but I see it as more of decentralized discord vs. a more general protocol for decentralized apps. I could be wrong.
Homeservers and keyservers do appear to be similar concepts.
i might try a PoC with federated or key servers, as you're right, Nostr a bit wacky with aligning the relays, but hope to launch MVP on Nostr ultimately
