Agreed.

Except that I prefer smart relays (or more broadly → server automation) to overlap with specific goals or niches.

Communities typically have one clear and defined goal / niche.

Individual profiles typically want to engage with a whole bunch of said Communities + have their own specific goal for their personal server.

I don't want to oblige all profiles to care, pay for and set up their own relays that play nicely with the outbox model.

indeed, what i described is for a decentralised distributed global forum like kind 1/1111 based discussions

communities and groups don't want to have interlopers. this can all be controlled on the relay side though, with some small elements in the client (like disabling outbox, for example)

i think the thing here is that you probably need to make clients specifically for this kind of purpose. they will be more focused on forum and chat, and have stronger moderation systems than an open town square style social media client.

i know that building clients is what you are mainly into, so that's on you :)
