Nostr Web Client

I’m no Nostr developer, or Damus like developer on top of it, but I find it hard to believe you couldn’t censor what you liked in this app if you so had the will. I could be wrong of course… but, if you could, to me that’s a “decentralised” kind of decentralisation that a lot of altcoins boast about.

I could censor client side but then people would stop using my app or fork it to not have that. I have no ability to censor the actual data since I don’t control that.

It’s all open source. There’s nothing to “believe” or “not believe”. The code doesn’t lie. Nostr and Damus are indeed censorship resistant.

Ethereum is open source too

That doesn’t have any relevance to what I just said?

I’m not trying to deflect. I think I’m making an apt point. “No ceo” as about reliable as a qualification as so many cryptos that exist. Bitcoin truly has no ceo. Nostr is not the same

Very true. Just because something is open source doesn’t mean it’s good. What you may be missing is when you combine an extremely good free speech protocol and open source you get a killer product.

Nostr truly has no CEO either. I encourage you to read the spec. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips

#[4] is ceo

I’ll allow it.
