Okay, I have no clue what the hell I’ve let myself in for. Is this one owned by a megalomaniac too?

Hello. Protocols aren't owned. Nostr isn't owned by anyone. However, apps can be owned 😂 Which app are you using? If they turn out to be a megalomaniac then you can just use a different Nostr app. There's TONS of them. Check it out https://nostrapps.com
I see that you're using Damus. nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhglzevy3 is not a megalomaniac. He passed the Derek Beer Index. 🤙🏻🫂💜
NOSTR is a protocol and is thus not owned by anyone! Therefore you cannot be deplatformed.

You can be de-platformed using the Amethyst app
Yes but that's something built on top. You cannot be deplatformed on Nostr itself.
And as far as I know, nothing prevents other clients from implementing the same default in the future unfortunately, so there's work to be done and hopefully we'll see a lot more clients by then.
The biggest nostr client on Android shadow-banning users by default is de-platforming.
Welcome!
Few things you should know:
1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt t
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev for most people
have fun!
No one owns Nostr that’s the beauty of it!
Set up wallet of satoshi or other wallet and put wallet address into your profile. The we can send btc :)
