Please do so Semi. Dvms were never meant to be the content discovery thing. It just became the content discovery thing because there was nothing else, besides centralized trending algos on some big platform. Maybe you build something better. Go for it.
Discussion
The protocol can be significantly reworked to allow direct connection between feed provider and client (reducing latency) and add certain things like pagination etc
Doesn’t need to be bound by event size limits either, and improved privacy
Events can be encrypted, clients just don't do it. Latency is very low when you use a proper relay. But as I said, feel free to make something better.
Adding an intermediate hop is always higher latency, and ideal != what commonly happens
Encryption also increases event sizes (base64 encoding)
