As a non technical person, this is how I presented see it too.
Comparing with bitcoin it seems as though relays play a role which could be likened to the role miners play. For a decentralised social network to work they would need to be rewarded the work they do in storing data and responding to requests.
A cost which ultimately must be paid for by users.
