if you really want to fix scaling you need to get clients to start helping, maybe we cant go full p2p and make relays obsolete but we can reduce the load on them significantly

Relays is yet another can of worms. But so far each client can connect and interact with multiple relays already. This is good. Data duplication is not great long term, but I am sure we’ll think of something by the time it’s a problem 🐶🐾🫡

some data duplication is good for backup, too much is bad

No every client sends every event to every configured write relay. Some relays (blastr) rebroadcast it to every online relay too. The fan out is crazy! 🐶🐾🤯

yep i am surprised more hasn't been done on this, blueskys repo model does make some sense
