Don’t worry the relays will filter events for you. They will have their own algos.
Only way to know they’re not doing that would be to receive *all* messages — and have a way to verify you got all messages.
Nostr doesn’t allow for that. So you have to just trust relays are not manipulating your feed.
History shows that is very unlikely to hold true for long.
As number of events grow into daily millions the incentive to discard most in a way users will not notice or care is tremendous.
Remember Twitter censorship grew out of its anti-spam efforts.
