NOSTR relays aren't truly relays when they start hosting notes and serving them to clients upon request.
That is the definition of "server", not relay.
Paradoxically geogram is delivering relays closer to the philosophy of NOSTR.
A relay in geogram only serves to connect two devices when they are behind firewalls and connect each other directly.
The devices themselves hold the data and pass it to other devices upon request. This is how true data sovereignty looks like. You carry it in your pocket, it is yours.
What another device to be your backup and host your data? Please do, just don't call it a relay. That would be a server. On geogram, each user with his own phone is a server for their own data.

I'm writing geogram for off-grid conversations without internet
When you can keep the implementation simple and well documented, I'm game to try a deployment.
At geogram we are already beyond IP addresses with internet based on radios and devices connecting to each other in true P2P fashion.
What I enjoy the most about government propaganda and population programming in other nations is how easy it gets to spot just because you are not the target audience and the message become unadjusted to you.
Daily reminder that in our own nation they do the same thing too, we are just too blind to notice most of the times.
