Thanks for the reply, Fiatjaf. I’m somewhat new in this space so I’m trying to figure out some of the mechanics. Indulge me - if you will - few more curiosities: If users flock to popular relays to achieve maximal reach, and operators can be coerced, then doesn’t that obfuscate decentralization? I’m finding that relay discovery is a barrier of entry to Nostr from a user perspective (not a dev, if that wasn’t already obvious). Do you have any suggestions for us plebs who want to filter relays by area of interest?

We don't have many relays with filtered content yet, today all relays are all more or less the same mess, but if you are into cats here is something for you: You can use https://nostrrr.com/relay/catstrr.swarmstr.com to browse.
