If #nostr keep being centralized there’s work for cache and indexing to be done by middle-man’s aka VCs. In a p2p model you have to request the notes directly from your peers. Without any relay. That’s how #bitcoin work. Bitcoin don’t ask permission to post a 1000 tx but if I try to put 1000 notes per second the nostr relay operator will flag my notes and probably block. That’s censure from the beginning.

Nothing stops you from running your own relay.
I’ve write my own relay but it still doesn’t make it a decentralized network. Just private isolated server.
Bitcoin’s consensus rules limit what you can do to your peers. You can’t do 1000 txs per second on-chain lol. You have a poor understanding of decentralization and trust-minimization — permissionless doesn’t mean lawless. Anyone can run a relay, and if a relay bans you - you can move your content elsewhere. That’s beautiful. If you don’t get it, sorry.
