You're adding a relay that you, or someone sympathetic, owns, not just another random one. It can't be IP blocked, you're running the host itself, too, by necessity.

This is a losing fight. You can't require someone platform your speech. The censorship-happy people aren't wrong there. The issue is that our current internet and speech mechanisms are run by only 1 or 2 major operators and your ability to spin up an alternative (Truth Social) is extremely limited and unviable in its ability to attract users, and also very expensive.

Nostr fixes THIS, it doesn't fix the censorship-happy people themselves. They'll still exist, that's true. It means there are now 100,000 platforms, equally viable, and you can run your own and spin up an alternative. You platform yourself. You just need to get people to follow you, really follow you, to this new platform. This is very easy and barely a thing, if your speech has even a minor value to people. It's simply adding one 'free' relay.
