It seems like this could be solved by making those parts of Primal optional, so that it becomes like any other client where you can choose your own relays entirely. I had a conversation with @Vitor Pamplona about that a while back where he said the client would have no defaults if he had his way. I assume this sort of thing is one reason why. I don't mind some level of moderation. I don't want to see child porn (and I did early on before I understood what Global was and how relays work). The whole point in my mind should be the choice of relays based on the sort of moderation you want. Not that no relay has any moderation at all. I don't want to see npubs posting child porn, for example. I'm just using that as a nuclear example. But there are other issues like harassment, illegal content, etc. I dont want to suffer those things. But I also may not want what Primal is doing. Maybe I think they go too far. Cool. Fuckem. Choice is the important issue.

And if Primal doesn't give that choice, it just isn't the client for those who want the choice. It's still better than X in the sense that you can take your key and leave (assuming they don't prevent that at some point - that would be a different issue).
