You can't stop someone from hosting it on their own relay.

And this is a problem eventually

No. You can't stop someone from using email or the Internet, either. You can only refuse to host their traffic.

That is inherent to a true protocol.

So you say that this specific relay could become like an isolated island or something? What's the difference with lemmy and the fediverse then? I thought that a polluted relay interacts with other relays anyway. No?

Anyone can still read from or write to that relay. It isn't "burned" or "blocked" centrally. Same with npubs.

You mean that the relay can be seen in the relay list but if the user doesn't choose it for feed, then there is not an interaction with it?
