Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm not really sure what central authority you're talking about. There are, literally, hundreds (or even thousands) of relays. Which one is the central authority?
Each relay operator is the "central authority", deciding what is to be seen (and not seen) by that relay's users...
so you have thousands of independent central authorities to choose from…. https://image.nostr.build/03afc3d93fe361ca1c41b9f3e80452804fed8bbd49ee1775f3bdfeb7a2c15fcf.gif
How will you know what a relay operator is "filtering"? How will you know if information you'd like to see is not being presented to you? How will you ensure a relay operator is not shadow banning certain accounts or topics? How will you know if a relay operator isn't doing exactly what Twitter and Facebook have been doing?
there are several ways, but the simplest one is: run your fucking relay!
