significant risk imo

then actually much easier for a government to take control of (or start and subsidise) a few of these relays via some mechanism (shell company etc) than it was to infiltrate a public company like Twitter

yes the committed could still use the psychopath relays, but that's basically similar to where we are today if all the normies are on the censored relays recommended by captured clients

the one improvement is that an npub being censored by a relay is still verifiably that npub, and their audience could seek them out on the psychopath relays, but still lots of friction for normies to do that while their attention is diverted by their existing relays' feed
