People who do not support, do not care about or never heard about the "gossip model" -- which is basically the idea that clients should (mostly) automatically find people in wherever relays they are and fetch their notes from these relays -- here is a question for you:

What would happen if everybody is following Alex Jones on the 10 biggest relays, but they all collude to ban Alex Jones? Then Alex Jones starts publishing on a relatively tiny relay hosted in Colombiat. How can Nostr fulfill its censorship-resistant promises in this situation? Would all of his millions of Nostr followers have to manually open their settings and add his new relay address?

He can run a relay with all his archived content. The colluding relays have a reputation to manage. What if we raided gossip related events, similar to hard drives? Break up your message, say 5 ways, where only 3 of the 5 are needed to unscramble. Send 5 to different relays. Not a silver bullet...
