No, it doesn't directly resolve it, but it is the right approach. All your examples are still technically relays, the issue is you have no way to clasify or express them. Adding an arbitrary number (2-3) of new terms and eliminating usage of the term "relay" might address the stated issue, but creates new ones. What are those 2-3 terms? How are they defined? What percentage of alignment does a *relay* need to be a _____. What if there is a relay that us a combination of all 2-3 types in some way in the future?

Are we urbit now?
That would be an astroid belt... a personal, private relay would be a black hole. 😂
The application of cosmological terminology could actually lend a lot of nuance to explaining function... and it fits very well with people's tendency to call Nostr "the Nostrverse".
Lol @ asteroid btw
Finally always wanted to try that out /s
My kneejerk reaction is "this is stupid" because someone else tried using the planet/galaxy analogy with a different social platform. Also, its not self explanatory, but with an explanation the idea might work
