IMHO, It would be better for decentralization if Damus didn't have a relay.

How does your notifications work without a relay ?
Just a push server. It listens to DM and zap events from 400 relays and sends them down with Google services. Literally 100 lines of code.
If you want to see the code... It's dirty but it works.

Does it mean that without Google services there's no notifications?
