They will almost inevitably disagree with your reason and get very angry.  Relay operators are humans and can&#39;t deal with angry people day after day, and being kicked off of a relay in nostr shouldn&#39;t be a big deal, you can just trivially go somewhere else.  If I was booted from a relay I&#39;d get very excited and happy because &#34;fuck you bitch I&#39;m using nostr, and you can&#39;t stop me!&#34;  and it would feel great to have such a retort.... It is like sometimes I wish a nuclear war would actually happen so I could feel good that I moved to New Zealand.... if nobody ever tries to censor me, what was the point of nostr?    So being explained to isn&#39;t really something I think relay ops need to do.  Maybe they just want to save on ISP costs (traffic, disk space).&#xA;&#xA;Giving them a chance to download their data is also the decent thing to do, but probably not necessary in practical terms because ... well, because you are using lots of relays aren&#39;t you?&#xA;&#xA;I recommend against posting to 17 or 25 relays only because it does not seem like the decent thing to do.  I don&#39;t plaster all the walls of your home with posters of my missing cat for the same reason, I just put it on a few telephone poles.</html></oembed>
