If in the future you receive a note from me like this, how would you react?

"After some deliberation I have decided not to host your content on my relay. You are free to repost your content onto other relays.

Considering that content on nostr is generally mirrored, it has already been deleted from my relay."

It needs to be for good reason, it needs to be in a transparency report by the relay operator, otherwise it's a "shadow ban". The reason could be any number of things, CSAM? DMCA? Law enforcement requirements? "I don't like what you're saying" is clearly not a valid reason.

Understood. I've never banned anybody and don't expect to, but I am writing moderation tools for chorus so I want to think through how chorus should deal with this. I'll make it require a reason and include the reason in the notice.
