I would run a relay but I don't want to become a target running it on one of my servers on clearnet, neither use a vps. A for relay makes more sense, but still limited on client mobile side, too much battery... Would there be a way to rum on clearnet with some sort of server side bridge so clients don't know to which relay there're connected to? Something like what simplex did on clients but on server side

I agree that having a relay on the clearnet is not a good idea. Being responsible for what others post is a nightmare, even with filters and censorship options. No one needs to be anonymous enough (there are exceptions) to use the Tor network as a default for relaying, even though it is a good option. So this is a barrier we will have to overcome: the clearnet brings unpleasant responsibilities, and Tor brings slowness.
