I am in favor of "spraying" relay lists, and posting regular events to just 2 or 3 relays. Even if you get booted from all 2-3 of your relays, just spray your relay list again with updated information and people can find you again (once clients start following people instead of following relays).
It might also be useful to have "bootstrap finder" relays dedicated to accepting and serving only relay lists. Spray to those so you can be found.
The spray isn't very bad because it is just 1 event per relay per person (a replaceable event).
I'm in favor of kind 10001 or similar relay lists (using the contents of kind-3 Contact lists is heavy-weight because Contact lists are huge).
This is a refinement of my thinking and not something I've explicitly said elsewhere yet afaik. fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6)
