 I write open source software on an open source permissionless protocol. Relays are only centralized if you choose to, if you want to only use the Damus relay, then you're choosing to give  nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s authority over what content you can publish or see. 

If you're so concerned about this issue, i strongly recommend you setup a relay, i recommend: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry

And develop a plugin to strfry that rejects all kind 1984 events.

Here's the instructions: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/master/docs/plugins.md

And if you want to run a service that reports all of my content, you're welcome to do so. Here's the code which is open source and you're free to use and modify as you see fit. https://github.com/planetary-social/reportinator_server

See, i'm not telling you want to say or do, go for it, but all I ask is that you realize free speech only works if it is for everybody.
