This can and will (if worth it at all) happen to any Pubky indexers or Nostr relays that capture majority of eye balls. And when they comply, because they must, it will be effectively the same as shadow banning.

Play search engine games, win censorship prize.

If you don't want to deal with censorship, don't get big, and don't work on problems that requires big servers to solve them, or build a blockchain and make each post cost $20.

There sincerely no third options.

That's the difference between a protocol being truly *decentralised* with thousands of expendable relays or a protocol based on a bunch of *distributed* servers.

Pretty much. Also the backend hardly matters in the case of users for whom it's an iOS native app or nothing.
