i think availability of proxy tools and services are good for poorer countries and it is not a big deal as a threat to centralization. poorer ones need to hear more about the freedom ideas is what i meant.. there are levels of censorship and USA is still doing a lot better than the rest of the world. a proxy would allow a lot more people to hear the ideas generated on nostr without ruining their data and battery.

i don't propose centralization, how do you come up with that?.

regarding censorship i may do some cleaning of my relays to remove ugly content. however i am not against free speech (of ideas). ugly content is what i think is ugly, like the worst nsfw you can imagine, meaningless spam, ... i am free to specialize in moderation and every op should specialize imo. and thats a good thing.

i think you have too much worries. you made this thing and now worried that it will fail. however i can assure you i am not a bad actor in this. you are looking at wrong places for enemy. i have been providing some relays for months. a lot of relay ops do much more than me (time wise). you should thank us. i am hurt by some of your exchanges.
