It sure is nice. This feels like a small chat room at the moment. The protocol and ecosystem are set up to adapt. Initially paid relays will sift out the noise. When that isn’t enough, other mechanisms will spring up.

I see a world where we have multiple modes in our usage. Most of the time we’re chatting and publishing on reputable relays. Occasionally when we want to venture out, we turn on a public relay to find interesting nuggets that for whatever reason haven’t jumped into our view.

The main risk I see is that this could breed strong echo chambers. Surely there will be relays catering to certain thought tribes. The big win will come from creating strong relays that are accepted and frequented by many walks of life.
