 Has that been a Nostr controversy so far? I keep comparing the Nostr with the good old days of IRC, so to me it's exactly the opposite: I would have expected themed relays from the very beginning and am still a bit surprised that we don't see them. 
 Just wait. Communities gunna comute. Unless  content nazis stop them 
 Well, the way I see it, the straightforward translation of IRC would be private relays with mods who give and take the power to write to the server from users, and who can make other mods. (Ah, the rush when you would finally get that "@"...)

That inherently means arbitrariness and content nazism. It also means that users vote with their feet if the arbitrariness and content nazism get out of hand, of course.
