Thanks, you don't even have to follow the steps 2 and 3. Now we should persuade the client to add at least one free-speech relay to the default list 👃🏽

Here is how it's supposed to work:
https://nostr.guide/nostr-protocol-for-a-censorship-free-social-network/
"On Nostr, a user can be blocked from publishing on a specific relay, but they can still publish on other relays and maintain their identity and follower base. To make it easier for users to find new relays, the client software can automatically add recommendations for new relays to the list of relays it queries whenever someone you are following posts a recommendation.
If a user wants to migrate to a new relay, they can publish a recommendation to their previous relay and move their data. If a user is banned from many relays and cannot broadcast their own recommendations, they can still let their close friends know which relay they are publishing on through other means, and these friends can publish recommendations to the new relay. This process can help the banned user’s old follower base find their posts again through the new relay. The same process applies if a relay ceases operations."
I don't know how this works practically though. How can I post a relay recommendation? Do clients implement this feature? Anyway the fedi will stress-test the censorship resistance of the network for good and we are going to find out soon :p

Where did they announced that? And how do they intend to implement it? I'm on iris but I'm a fedi user too and I want be able to follow people there from nostr.

The FediBlock is only viable because the lefties control most instances and instances control what all their users are allowed to see. The politically neutral people join the biggest servers and they don't even know (nor they care) about FediBlock or other political fighting on "Mastodon". I'm not sure if this is possible here. The user can subscribe to multiple relays. If "mastodon.social" boots you, you don't have to lose you account or your followers. Gleasonator etc. will be there to relay your shitposts to the network.

I don't believe users would care that much to follow a politically motivated block list. I'm not sure about the relays. On the other hand the architecture of nostr is supposed to be resistant to that kind of censorship.

We will have to see it in practice. They would have to make the block lists a default option somehow

Things I like about nostr: It's not fragmented like fediverse, you are not blocked by default by association.
Things I don't like about nostr: It's stuck on sats.
