You can't decide what someone writes to their own relay, regardless of what it is, and you shouldn't even want to.

Anything else is limiting the freedom of the press and freedom of expression.

That’s a non-sequitur.

Others write DMs or return results through APIs or command line interfaces, or whatnot.

If you need users with ethos you're doomed 😕
