The assumption is that a user: - wants to publish all his publications to the same set of relays (as if he's a nerd with only 1 interest / community he interacts with) - has time to figure out what relays are, compare them and pick and pay for some that suit him (to then have zero solution yet for his media, the more expensive hosting need he has). - takes responsibility for the moderation of all his publications, with that moderation being applied by the same relays for all of his stuff That's all nerd stuff imo. Most people just want to post in the Communities / Apps they're involved in and let them take care of the moderation, hosting, etc... And the have the option to backup whatever is relevant or important to them on their own (cloud) server solution. Ideally, that server also lets' them share specific stuff with specific profiles, for the private (non private group- side of things too.
