Censorship resistance in Nostr is definitely a weak form of it but the system seems antifragile given the cryptographically linked userbase. We could use more tools to detect deliverability problems and measure common-neighbor (that we need to share a relay to communicate) efficiency.

Perhaps a DHT plus things like negentropy can help with scaling. There are definitely trade-offs when attempting to handle the bandwidth this sort of system could generate.

A single user's data is arguably "cryptographically linked" by signing, but not the userbase itself.

I don’t understand the technical stuff language , i assumed bottom lime is a thin

Borderline censorship is always exist both in Relays or centralised social media .

Except for relays or Nostr protocols that you have the ability to completely free censorship if : you hosting your own relay , your own media and file storage and make it private . You completely free censorship but NO ONE discover you .

Then why you are on Nostr ?? Pretty irony. .

Your understanding of nostr is incorrect. What you described is the same thing as web servers.

The reason I am here is because I enjoy sharing my experience and challenging myself.
