I am having a hard time trying to understand if it's worse or better that Nostr makes clients do all of the processing work versus the relay. On one hand, anyone can run a nostr relay on older computers or a cheap VPS's. The downside for the end user is that their computer or phone turns into a big data processing device and consumes a lot of power. The nice thing about alternative tech is that this is flipped, the server does all of the work and the clients just browse the content and don't have to worry about relays
