Yep, and it's written in the code that everyone can see. That is my point. People can use Onyx if they dont like the filter or simply disable the filters in Amethyst's settings. However, you have no idea if relays are censoring you or not (hint, they are).

Yes, but there will be thousands of relays. Anyone can setup their own relay and others can broadcast the note to other relays. Very few people have the ability to create their own client. Right now, if 5 clients decide to censor a user, nobody would ever see them.
Ok but your distributed unaccountable censorship system (which should be opt-in btw) can’t be challenged. If a relay claims they do not censor, it’s a lot easier for me as a non-technical person to verify that than it is to go into a bunch of code I have no idea how to read and find out how you’re censoring me (which you are btw). Relays have an incentive to abide by the policies they establish, and they can be exposed if they’re lying. Your system has no recourse, and there’s literally nothing I can do to contest being censored by the policies you arbitrarily set (that gives weight to false reports for whatever reason), particularly since many ppl can’t even see me.
