My model? Its what the protocol enables. FiatJaf himself has spoken in telegram about out how note level selection of relay groups would be an amazing thing, and how the current paradigm influenced even his choices in Damus. With blockheads shouting over him. More relays are what we need. I have plenty hardware and TBs of monthly unused seever bandwidth. The only reason I don't host 5 relays is that nobody can choose to respect them. I'm not hosting a firehose of anime porn. And I'm not using Nostr to communicate with like minded people about anything I'm too embarrassed or security conscious about to join a global firehose. Nor will anybody else. Its a design choice to make relays inconvenient to control on demand. I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who is opposed to putting fine grained control within reach of the user. If Note level relay group selection were the norm, your local pottery group would fire one up and make it available to the world of pottery enthusiasts. Relays would balloon in numbers as they'd have limitless incentives to host. The sole incentive right now is data harvesting. But you prefer just a handful of relays forced to publish your prosperity cult propaganda for everyone on the 'decentralized' protocol to host for you. That just makes our data distributed, not decentralized.

The protocol doesn’t say only send pottery notes to pottery relays. It’s “many to many”. If some people want to send notes only to specific relays, they can do that already by changing their relay list for each submission. But most people just want the broadest spray of their notes that their data plan allows. How does a pottery relay control what is incoming? At scale? How do you know two people arranging a meet up are organising a pottery class or a date? I’m just not sure how relays by topic can ever work? Wouldn’t they demand full time moderators and all the associated cost? Thus centralising everything. Also, who decides what the topics are? I think users can curate who they follow. Get a key manager create a pottery pubkey, follow potters and enjoy your robust and resilient pottery feed. That’s how to manage topics. Global is not human readable.
