Yup spot on. The main issue though is that if you want to ensure that you have absolutely unassailable content, you need to run you own relay that ensures all your events are stored. You can’t assume that the relays you connect to via clients are perfect.
I imagine relay services will get better over time here but something to be aware of.
I don't quite understand why a client can't do it's own backup... it's really not that much data i would think. you could sync it to google drive or equivalent, and while your posts may temporarily be unavailable if all the relays are down, you could theoretically re-populate another relay (or your own) with that backed up data right?
A client can do this. There’s nothing stopping this from being implemented. I think it’s a good idea, really. It’s just a PR away from becoming reality :).
