fair.
what about if someone is following me on nostr but I only post notes to a single personal relay (completely uncensorable) and they don't have that relay in their subscriptions?
my reach to them is zero, but my speech is unlimited (to my own relay). my point is reach is an emergent property of the current dynamics of the network topology, infrastructure, costs, client software, etc. speech is different. I can post to my own relay with 100% confidence in freedom of my speech. but I can't control my reach (I can nudge it) just like someone else cannot force me to broadcast their message (their reach)
