A thought, a dream, a poem, or something else: nostr is more decentralized than X but it still smells centralized. Old patterns are hard to shake. Targeting the browser may be a mistake.
Websockets (the basis of nostr) are a client/server protocol. This choice delineates a central interior to the network (the servers) that provision the compute, network, and data obligations of the system on behalf of a peripheral exterior (the users).
If the relays fall there is no network at all.
lemma: i see a circle, servers interior, clients exterior, networked edges overlaid - why the circle?
The bipartite graph is the anti-pattern of decentralization.
