Neither side are better or worse. Everything is subjective. If your main goal is to have a smooth social media experience, pubky may well be better, ...

That's actually where I struggle a bit with the CEO argument... What is the practical difference between John being the person ultimately responsible for Pubky and hundreds of relay operators each acting as the boss of their own relay? At least with John, everyone knows who is in charge and what the rules are. With relays, every operator can decide what to keep, what to delete, or who to exclude based on their own views, policies, or simply how they feel that day. I'm not saying one model is objectively better than the other... I'm just not convinced that having hundreds of small gatekeepers is automatically superior to having one visible person responsible for the platform... from a social media perspective, I personally prefer the more consistent experience.
