 I just told you. Give users client-side more sophisticated solutions that allow them to curate their feed by themselves. Right now I can mute words, works OK at the basic level. Being able to block regular expressions would be even better.

 It was just a very simple example of an improvement that would require little cost while empowering users and respecting their freedom, compared to the false solutions commonly discussed.

 How to solve it on the relay side without blocking newbies?

 I don't want any relay-side "solutions". That's what would make Nostr unsafe to use and, in fact, threaten its very existence.

 Storage and bandwidth are limited, you can't give unlimited write access to everyone.

 I hope we can do p2p between clients in the future, skipping the relay part

 That would be my absolute favorite option. But as long as we run on relays, I want relays to do exactly what their name says: to relay. They're not called "filters", "funnels" or "publishers".
