I look at Nostr as an online version of online anarchy, the manifestation of books like Machinery of Freedom or Ethics of a New Liberty.  Relays are not obliged to transmit anything you say, but if they censor you, you can choose a new relay or run your own.

Data and social graph mobility which leads to censorship resistance.

Data middlemen.
