Nostr is reasonably well decentralized. I dont think it's DINO.
It's not decentralized like paper.
Every system, by definition will have constraints, or it would not be a system. For example, Tim Berners-Lee once said, all specifications are a form of centralization.
What is important is what contstraints are applied. And whether it lets you work. Or blocks you from working.
Figure these things out, and the rest of the design becomes much easier.
