 Architectures that assume a single source of truth eventually become centralized (despite claiming to be decentralized) and a single point of failure. That’s the reality.

The alternate reality:

There is no single source of truth. Just signed events from authorities (npubs) that you may or may not trust.

There is no global store of signed events. Just signed events from relays you’ve connected to.

Once you realize this, the desire to police others goes completely away.
