waxwing on Nostr: Any entity that can plausibly threaten relay operators with some violent coercion ...
Any entity that can plausibly threaten relay operators with some violent coercion counts as a potential censor. National governments to keep it simple, if you prefer. The npub is out in the open but if the operator only uses it for that, and only operates the relay on an anonymized network, that is not an issue (i am tacitly assuming onion service style, i.e. your network address has some censorship resistance). Of course cycling npubs is not a solution; that's the whole reason I'm writing about relays here, they have to be somewhat permanent to be useful.
