Aa this earlier today:
“Mastodon's decentralized nature raises concerns about the legal risks for users hosting instances, which must comply with copyright and privacy laws globally”
This issue could come up for Nostr relays.

Wack-a-Mole
It def will come up. So maybe that argues for default relay list to be spread in as many different jurisdictions as possible, and not purely on ping times.
Relays on Tor. Like Lightning nodes behind Tor.
Tor is going to need to get faster and more reliable then. It's been unusable for 7 months now. Hopefully Jack's recent round of funding will allow them to hire devs and they can work on their DDoS problem.
I have been saying this for a while Tor is the Achilles heel for Lightning nodes. It has to get better. So everyone should consider supporting tor project.
