I brought this up in the Nostr Telegram but made the mistake of asking how to get a relay "free of Bitcoin ads" lol. Just hate from there, nobody interested except Jaf. People even claiming it was 'not a use case', which is bullshit.
The fundamental issue is that clients (aping Twitter, stupidly) made Relays a Profile-level, rather than a Post-level setting.
Relay Groups selectable at the Post level in all Clients is required for this use case to ever work.
Otherwise, Clients literally break the attempt to have a topical or anti-topical Relay. Because everyone using a Twitteresque Client with your Relay in their Profile settings will blast all their off-topic thoughts to your Relay, too.
