Directly reading from the relay network also provides some protection from censorship crackdowns by limiting a client's complete technical control as the sole host, curator, and deliverer of content, keeping it in the hands of users to decide what they can and want to see.

And if you run a centralized server, at least make it a native relay; this way you can comply while still protecting your users' freedoms.

Say NO to NINO!

we should stop calling clients that talk to a centralized server instead of relays a "nostr client". Otherwise this will lead to confusion when the app goes down and they think nostr is unreliable, which may irreversibly damage nostr's reputation.

if you make a web browser that doesn't fetch from websites directly and instead uses some centralized server to do this for you, you wouldn't call this a web browser.
