Relays are just web servers. If you run your own, no one knows it exists. If you use someone else's, it can censor you.
No one will run a scaled web server for you for free.
No government will allow a scaled web server that does not censor.
Nostr can never scale while preventing censorship.

Most people cannot imagine scale. That’s why they still think Lightning works.
Also, whatever you’re working on will be replaced by bitnames when miners activate bip300
why does the server itself have to scale so massively? why doesnt ever user have a server and they only scale it according to the content and attention they receive. mine could stay quite small, Kanye's would need to be pretty beefy. Peer-to-peer connections between personal servers. only.
Who (or what) says every relays has to scale up with the growth of the ecosystem? Why?
