Completely agree.  Nobody should feel like they have to apologize for creating a curated space with whomever they wish to share it.

My one quibble is that effectively it *is* censorship, and we should just own it. Because, unless you're a government compelled to treat its citizens neutrally, I think it's a mistake to treat 'censorship' as if it's a bad word.  Of course, the beauty of Nostr is that there isn't just one, nor even just a few, curated (or not) spaces.
