There will never be a future where evaluating and choosing relays won't be absolutely necessary. There is no freedom if you don't know and control where your content is. If your content is in the same relay as millions of porn posts, your content inst any better than spam. Stop thinking that relays can be hidden. They cannot be.

Can you not bootstrap relays by using relays of people you follow?

And if the user blocks authors, identify from which relays they come and then ask the user: relay X has a lot of spam. Do you want to remove it?

That's what the recommended relay section in the relay list page does. But your follows are still using porn relays, which gets recommended to you. Unfortunately, users can't delegate finding good relays for themselves. This notion of using whatever relay the app recommends makes you a slave of the app itself. Not much different than the old Twitter.

And purging relays after you blocked enough users from them?

People will miss a lot of content if the app decides to do that :(

Just implement Kind 10006, for blocking relays.

I remove muted npubs and muted relays, basically. That breaks the other person's mailboxes, but that sounds like a learning experience.
