yes and no?

the way you mention is very convenient however i still believe it’s people’s business to choose relays they want to listen to. especially when there will be many more relays with their own terms of service, maybe some even be theme-related, and so on.

can’t say for others, but for me it would be great if after opening account of a user, client could notify me “hey, can’t get his new posts, check out relays he’s writing to” – that’s exactly what’s happening then you’re following some independent journalist, right?

the problem is finding a relay a user is on, a dht solves this

dht is very slowly. bitcoin is the example, and that's the reason why we need lightning network, by the way, I like that I can control to remove or add some relay.

Yes, and the "relay" could even be your p2p client. And if your relay is not reachable, you can always ask your events from people who follow you.

P2P could work without DHT as well if clients publish their IP on nostr
