Seeing so much LLM-related content on Nostr finally made me realize how leftists or other types of people must feel when they try to join but see so much Bitcoin stuff and adjacent stuff. Doesn't matter who is right. Relay-based segregation is urgent and imperative.

Relays are the best integration point for building feeds. Generic clients that can display a feed from a single relay and reply via outbox do not have to concern themselves with the UX of building these feeds.. Jumble was a gamechanger and shows this model works well and is performant. RelayTools-android is modeled after this with more list and nip86 support. Having a personal relay be your 'endpoint', gathering and computing this for you in the background is really nice. I've started modeling this in the lab, on a raspberry pi5 with strfry router. The content is there, it's just drowned out by lots of noise, which can easily be filtered by hashtag curation and web of access. Just look at wss://aquaticchickentheory.nostr1.com for an example of this working in the wild. The relays act as layers or filters themselves and you can source those into another 'personal relay' where you build your own ultimate feed. For example of a personal relay endpoint I am using github.com/relaytools/feedbuilder to construct an augmented follows+lists feed on my local network. It gathers everything I care about and I can read it directly without burdening my client with all these complex rules and connections. So yeah, it's not only possible, it's the best way to nostr imo.
Leftists are working on nostr and selling bitcoins ? There are things happening that the people do not see ? In bitcoin world you can buy and sell to communists, this is a crazy world. All without say that fiat money is a shit that mantain the bitcoin world. #CrazyWorld

Segregation splits content flows and makes them workable, clients can mix them for the user. It doesn't stop spam it makes it easier to make a first step of narrowing things down. Hashtags don't split the flow, they just help you track something you're interested in. We're asking users to drink from the sewer (from the outsider perspective) and then telling them to use a filter straw. Users need to be able to find the likeminded crowd as a starting point. then get to know people, pick and choose, find hashtags they want to pay attention to, etc. none of that is going to happen if the startingpoint is a firehose of people who are all about some thing that you don't vibe with. They're just going to leave.
