From this point of view I don't see how to solve the problem. Information flows in the digital world in bubbles. The idea of an omnipresent connection where everything appears to be connected and we know everything that is happening instantly is a fallacy. Hodlbod's explanation of how Twitter achieves this apparent ubiquity demonstrates that this data is manipulated. Trying to achieve this result will simply perpetuate the error and generate unnecessary technical problems. 

 Client proxies only need to serve smallish groups where the intersection of the relays used by the people followed by the people they serve isn't too large. Then we can have many client proxies.
