rees (npub1j3v…qxec) mentioned scaling issues being a problem with Nostr, and that issue is something like "Since relays don't share information, each relays is bearing a significant burden, so the system will fail if there is too much traffic."
I'm vaguely aware of efforts to make clients use relays selectively. "Gossip model" was a term that got thrown around.
Do you think the problem of Nostr data being less distributed, and therefore more difficult to host, is fixable?
