Yes - that can happen. But because your identity isn’t tied to a relay, you can post and be read on other relays. There likely will be more specialized relays that are developed that are stricter about the content (maybe by topic or audience - think kid friendly, nsfw only, a place for book reviews), relay operators are fully entitled to make the decision about what they host (not to mention the risks of hosting some content, legally speaking), and people can get banned - this is already happening with spam accounts and content. It’s relay redundancy and a decentralized identity that makes it more censorship resistant.
