Nostr's censorship-resistance is performative theater. It's not built for everyone - it's a filter to attract a specific type of person. The technical decentralization is just the excuse, the Schelling point that signals "we're not like them". But if you're only serving a few thousand people who think alike, you don't need any of that infrastructure. A private forum would work fine. You only need censorship resistance when you have actual ideological diversity. When everyone already agrees with you, 'freedom of speech' is just branding for tribalism.

Nostr's main defence is that nobody who could potentially do anything about it has ever heard of it.
