smart client and dumb relay model is great for the agora but quite limiting for creating coherent & top tier UX for communities. client side moderation is a dead end, the experiment has been a failure. we gotta flip the model if we are serious about attracting communities to nostr: smart relay (+ blossom, groups, even fiat ecash mints), dumb & efficient relay-based white labeled clients (Jumble, Flotilla, etc.), normie friendly email login (powered by hosted frost bunker?), and power admin tools & dashboard. credible exit and all the properties of nostr but with a product that has market fit and anyone can use. devs will keep building shiny toys and science experiments (I'm guilty of this) if grant money is involved, needs to be a for profit endeavor.
