I think we can have our cake and eat it too if

1. we make very robust open source relays that can have tools to automate that kind of work: DMCA takedowns, etc (if people want to comply with the law)

2. It’s easy to find and subscribe to many relays to cross pollinate widely enough that we don’t need central relays controlled by big players. Again requiring robust relays that are cheap to run and manage

That’s why I’m working on a relay discovery tool like Nostr.watch but with more of a community bent. I wanna see if I can convince relay operators to publish their community preferences and help people discover a couple dozen relays they should join.

But overall I think we just have to keep pushing for decentralisation and meet the challenges that incentivise centralisation as they come up

After the relay explorer. I definitely wanna see if I can add “relay plugins” that people can install to do things like check against a series of public lists of spammers. Setting the ground work for a plug-in ecosystem for relays to allow us to work together to automate the work of complying with the laws where relays are hosted and keeping them cheap and easy to host.

I dunno how plausible it is, but I think that’s where I’ll put my effort.
