Just having keys isn’t enough. You need to ensure relays don’t have the majority of the power. This is why smart clients and dumb relays is so important. nostr:note19qucf79svrxu2msr7wyx2342gp3dr2v6w0ascy4kshme3zuht4zsuym0q8

A good point ... I'll try to meme better next time 😁
Nah, just have your own relay.
Smart clients should give users better control over their relay usage! Topical relays help users build community and find interesting subject matter! Smart clients should enable better relay management UX/UI!!
Smart Client & Dumb Relays sounds like a band name.
that's it. never forgot to use and move over different clients and relays.
How do we ensure it stays that way over time?
The risks arguably get smaller over time, when interoperability among a larger ecosystem is the norm. Its especially in this phase of the protocol where something that is not (as) interoperable can become really popular and undermine the protocol.
In terms of ensuring, dunno, perhaps we can finance a crew specialized in breaking kneecaps of bad actors or something like that
smart clients got too smart and still couldnt figure out outbox or large lists. #stillwaiting.
And negentropy relays
I think "smart" outbox focused relays are very important for decentralization. Relays should do more and have a network topology; for example, sync events for your contacts or for whatever purpose you desire.
Your keys AND your relay.
