 Is there a way on nostr to create private accounts, and whitelist followers?

 Run your own relay, only allow those you whitelist to use it.  
 Isn't there a simpler way? 
Like in other mainstream social media.
I think it's a very basic feature, that every nontech people would except from a social nedia platform, especialy freedom oriented one

 It's an open protocol, to control who uses it you need to control the relay. Otherwise you're asking client creators to allow censorship, which is what they are trying to avoid. A private relay is you're own business though.  
 Well it's weird you're calling it cencorship.
It's like when I use signal to DM someone will be called cencorship.
