question, can a government censor nostr?
not at the domain level, but at protocol level. eg. : censoring any form of nostr events
Discussion
They could certainly shut down relays.
yes but they cant shut all relays. a censorship in Malaysia for example is not going to operate relays running in the USA.
what I am more concern if it is possible to block all Nostr related access.
you could access via vpn
I don’t think that would be possible.
Here’s the biggest challenge: space
For whole relays to work they have to save a lot of data. Terabytes worth.
Costs a lot of money to do that and we need hundreds of not thousands of replicators if a doomsday censor scenario plays out.
thank you for the insight
