Ok, I see. Bad idea. Because centralist power comes with the nice GUI. Everybody would need to post to this relay because people would want to look it up there. I guess this is also how the “canonical relay” died.
But, counter-example:
I think the Web Archive is a great undertaking. It keeps what is otherwise lost and inaccessible for me. The centralist approach worked well to keep the old decentralized web (not the platform/JS web) available over decades (even though there is censorship; you can request deletion of entries).
But from your viewpoint it’s one single point of failure. What do you make of that? What keeps nostr infrastructure as decentralized as possible but its notes still quotable by Wikipedia? Wikipedia has an answer for geo coordinates for example: a list of apps for representation.
