I'm saying that the only thing the user owns, is the data and application/relay settings stored in events. If they keep it in events, then they can move from relay to app, and have the same setup, everywhere. So, you would choose your relay based upon service, including whether they honor what is in your events.
For instance, cloud fodder and 121 others (npub10np…tl5h) allows me to use my npub's lists (mute, follows, favorites, etc.) to determine who is allowed to use my private relay. I edit those lists and click a button in relay.tools and it updates the blocks/allows.
That means I could have 15 different relays, from different providers and/or self-hosted, and they'd all have the same settings, if I choose. Or I could have a set of lists by topic and have a book club relay, a Christian chat relays, a dev relay, etc.
Filter.wine does something similar with WoT. It is controlled by the changes to your follow list.
I house the relay and app settings within my events.
