People who do not support, do not care about or never heard about the "gossip model" -- which is basically the idea that clients should (mostly) automatically find people in wherever relays they are and fetch their notes from these relays -- here is a question for you:

What would happen if everybody is following Alex Jones on the 10 biggest relays, but they all collude to ban Alex Jones? Then Alex Jones starts publishing on a relatively tiny relay hosted in Colombiat. How can Nostr fulfill its censorship-resistant promises in this situation? Would all of his millions of Nostr followers have to manually open their settings and add his new relay address?

From a UX perspective, searching for a profile, and being presented with a list of relays they post to (if you share none in come), with one click to add them sounds 🔥

Don’t know if that’s a DHT like Torrent or Holepunch, or gossip (not technical enough to know the difference) but as a user, again, that UX would be 🔥
