I am not shying away from fixing. WoT doesn't solve everything as it takes days and sometimes weeks for new users to show up in people's radars even on clients that helped onboard such new users. Imagine onboarding your friend and then trying to find the friend and your client blocking everything.

Regardless of the solution in the client, three is NEVER going to be a future where picking the relay isn't the most important thing users do. There is no solution, no alternative to it. You can pick your relay or be a slave of those who do for you. You cannot have both. Ever.

"never" is a strong word, especially when all-caps 😉

I bet in the very near future, people will rather have their personal AI assistant on their phone judge what is spam than have some central authority preemptively delete events.

Even if you use an AI to filter spam, the central authorities will still delete events. There is no nostr without relays. They are central authorities between you and your friends. They have all the power to shape your reality in anyway they want. Personalized to you.

If you are not careful of which relay you choose, even today, you don't see a lot of criticism to certain projects, for instance. That's why your relay choice matters. Because they can censor you regardless of what the client does.

Yes, absolutely.

I want a world where people have to choose *enough* relays to receive the "broadcasts" while still being manageable for their limited client. Adding more will gradually degrade their experience.

You encourage to pick a minimal set of "good" relays. Adding one wrong relay will occasionally totally ruin their experience and the experience of their followers.

Authorities aren't authorities if there are several of them.
