A gossip protocol will make it really easy for spammers to push their spam relays onto everyone and flood feeds with scammy adds for shitcoins and penis extenders.

Then, well need a second gossip protocol to distribute lists of spam relays that clients can use to filter them from the relay gossip protocol.

And finally, well need human curated lists of clean, nice , inoffensive relays for people to use, that that don't want to deal with all the spam relays from gossip protocols.

Or, we let users add whatever penis extender advertising relays they want to subscribe to manually, or by following someone posting to that relay, giving people a choice rather than having relays thrust upon them that they then have to filter out.

Censored means actively blocking notes. Me, not wanting to subscribe to your relay and read your notes, is not censorship, it's me exercising my freedom of choice.

If you don't follow spammers, why would your client query their relays?

I'm curious what happens when you accidentally follow a spammer or someone who just recently started posting to a spammy relay unknowingly. I am not fully up on the duscussion here, some easy to understand context would be nice.

Even if you post to a spammy relay, a client will still only get your notes if they only ask for your notes

This argument seems to center around a global feed which is an absolute shitcoin anyway

Alright then, so the solution is not going to make things worse. Now I still have no clue what the orginal issue is. I'm not getting the context I need to know wtf we're talking about.
