"Use another relay" confers *a little* censorship resistance until you face a coordinated campaign. "Make your own relay" then becomes the final option, but one must do so *before* the campaign cuts them off from other relays and ensure that their contacts know about it, or they still lose connection with their contacts.

And depending on where the censorship is coming from (some sort of #nostrblock campaign versus a national government), hosting one's own relay may provide the censors ability to silence someone for a longer time.

Which is why I say that Nostr's censorship resistance is way overhyped. It is not subject to centralized admins' censorship (like Twitter or MetaFaceBook) or to instance admins' censorship (like the Fediverse with its #fediblock and other #blockwars campaigns), but depending on outrunning censors' pressure against relay operators is not something people should depend upon.
