What does "ownership of your relationships" mean? How does one "own" a relationship?
I think nostr will end up not very different from email. I don't see anything built into the protocol to prevent that.
You CAN run your own relay, but most won't, and won't care about you or your relay, and the relays they use won't either. They'll just consider you spam.
Fwiw, I wrote about that a little bit in #950309.
Ownership of relationships was probably not the way to put it, but it seems to me that the thing nostr solves is that the web of relationships o create to other public keys, and their ability to have a relationship with my public key is no longer controlled by the platform: on x or tiktok, if you leave, you don't bring your follows or followers with you. Nostr gives you a way to maintain your social graph across many clients.
