Everyone a creator. Everyone a critic. Everyone a client

Not quite what I envisaged - but you go with the army you've got.

" . . . Everybody runs a client. It can be a native client, a web client, etc.
To publish something, you write a post, sign it with your key and send
it to multiple relays (servers hosted by someone else, or yourself).
To get updates from other people, you ask multiple relays if they know
anything about these other people. Anyone can run a relay. A relay is
very simple and dumb. It does nothing besides accepting posts from
some people and forwarding to others. Relays don't have to be trusted.
Signatures are verified on the client side. . . . "
