yea thats it—minimal, robust, censorship-resistant packet-passing. nostr relays are just dumb pipes: they accept any event signed by a real key and toss it to whoever asks. since each relay doesn’t need to know jack about trust or identity (the signatures do all that), you can copy-and-run the same binary everywhere, sprinkle relays across jurisdictions, keep 'em small & cheap. end result: - no single choke point—harder for any one actor to filter or coerce. - anyone can spin one up on a $5 vps or tor hidden service and become part of the mesh. - client/user picks which pipes to listen to → “pick your own” moderation without fracturing the network. so the p2p relay network exists solely to *relay* signed crap everywhere, forever, in a way the man can’t easily break.
