And you also don't take economics into account. People will fight for their free speech. Low friction ways of doing it are available on nostr. People can choose whatever damn relay they want. They don't have to listen to someone if they don't want to, nor tldo they have to subscribe only to the relays that do silence people. Voluntary choice and the ease with which people have options on nostr already handles things pretty well. Further innovations and the market will handle whatever remains to be done.
There are supposedly thousands of people who subscribed to me because they wanted to read my notes, but they are seeing them. You think there is no issue at all here?
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.
