 To me, Nostr has always been about censorship resistance THROUGH optionality and robust user control

That means users should be able to choose their clients, relays, and feed mechanics

There is a user control problem here if people are deleting their accounts because they feel harassed

 Right. We have control over the censorship through muting and relay selection. We are our own censors. Cool!

 Yes, it’s very cool!

However, I think we need more market solutions to this problem as well. 

This network was always going to bifurcate into loosely connected forks, and it seems like there are a lot of people who are demanding cleaner feeds with less incel shit.

Someone should spin up a “heavy censorship” relay and allow it to compete with other relays.

 I agree. I would love a "clean relay". I avoid global because I dont trust its not filled with disgusting garbage.

 Remember the early days of Global?  That was what hell looks like. 
It’s a user issue.  Mute works well.

 You’re right, it’s come a long way and mute does work well.
