Thanks for the reply, Fiatjaf.
I’m somewhat new in this space so I’m trying to figure out some of the mechanics. Indulge me - if you will - few more curiosities:
If users flock to popular relays to achieve maximal reach, and operators can be coerced, then doesn’t that obfuscate decentralization?
I’m finding that relay discovery is a barrier of entry to Nostr from a user perspective (not a dev, if that wasn’t already obvious). Do you have any suggestions for us plebs who want to filter relays by area of interest?
