People who do not support, do not care about or never heard about the "gossip model" -- which is basically the idea that clients should (mostly) automatically find people in wherever relays they are and fetch their notes from these relays -- here is a question for you:

What would happen if everybody is following Alex Jones on the 10 biggest relays, but they all collude to ban Alex Jones? Then Alex Jones starts publishing on a relatively tiny relay hosted in Colombiat. How can Nostr fulfill its censorship-resistant promises in this situation? Would all of his millions of Nostr followers have to manually open their settings and add his new relay address?

While I don’t support this, it’s kind of interesting for relays to have public reputations and are essentially followed in the same way an individual is.
