is there a world where a client has its own built-in relay...and the notes you follow from npubs and you send frkm your npub are stored there? that way everyone has their own relay on their own device from the get go? im certain its not a good idea for some good,reason but curious 🤙

Twitter, as of today, is just a client with their own relay. And look where that took us to...
im sorry, i meant the relay is run on your local device via the downloaded client, not like a twitter or primal-esque setup where the client itself runs the relay. think like everyone has their own citrine relay from the get go that is sending / receiving notes. would that be a disaster?
In theory it could work, but other folks need to access your relay to download data. I don't think you would want that coming your phone all the time :)
ahh for sure, so comes back to you got a relay running on a server ( ideally your own but could be subscribed). in an built out outbox model world, are we all capable of just using our own relay and no one else's?
You're pretty close to describing a self-hosted ATProto PDS.
