not quite sure i understand what you’re getting at. i don’t see why there needs to be a “final arbiter” (king/despot/tyrant/…?). we currently (in most of the world) do not live in fiefdoms or kingdoms. in the states, we are a democracy. i think communities can figure out what/who they like/prefer most and what they would not accept, and that’s better done locally as a local community.

I'm just saying to have a local relay, someone needs to be in charge of a whitelist of who can post to that relay.
that makes sense. yeah, many (paid) relays need to be managed.
Local not for profits probably. Council areas could give ratepayers a code to download client. Enterprise distribution. Neighbourhood houses. Lots of mechanisms already in community. When you consider that facebook is the current go too 🦦
yeah, cool ideas. i think (dunno, really) in the uk & australia, there’s lots of well organized local mechanisms for building/maintaining thriving communities.
in general, with nostr, one of the neatest things about the decentralized nature of it is how there’s gonna be all kinds if different things/ideas from so many. the tough part certainly is about how to have the best ideas around for societies (rather than having low culture, corrupt powers, mob dynamics, etc. dominate).
