I'm leaning toward a hybrid approach: 1. autopilot for most things for the outbox-model happy paths 2. if note fails to load, lookup the note in mega relay pools, although this approach won't be internet-scale. 3. broadcast things you're replying-to @ mega relays as much as possible to help propagation. Some people don't like 3 but I think it helps in the 1&2 hybrid approach. I see the damus relay as just a thing to make the experience as reliable as possible for damus users, since I can't guarantee the reliability of other relays.

That's makes sense. I'm wondering how long it will take to look up a note in the mega relay. Might slow down user expiernece or nah? Yeah, I play with the differnet relays and most of the notes missing when I don't have damus relay, nos lol, wine and so on. with the following list I guess something has to do with the clients I use and I use and it mess things up and not the outbox model.

I think this approach helps with decentralization in the long run and makes it work when gaps occur. I don't mind it.
