Most people on Nostr today don't know where their Nostr stuff is. That's a huge problem.

Nostr is only censorship resistant if you know where ALL of your stuff is and who can get, use, limit and delete them. If you don't know where your stuff is, and if your stuff is indeed ALL there, then you can be controlled just like centralized big tech.

If we can bring it all to the phone and use that as a source of truth to start easily testing which relays are accepting or deleting some of your stuff, with some good/easy UIs, we can change this dynamic.

Well that's just giving us more utility and more control, but we still have control. Like, we still have the only keys to sign and authenticate our messages, and the ability to select our preferred relays. What you're describing is a way of making that easier and thus **increasing** censorship resistance and utility. It is already censorship resistant.

Censorship-resistance is not about control. It's about being able to post your signed event and not be deleted. On Nostr, you post into relays, which are private property. They can delete you at anytime. If you have bad relays, you can EASILY be censored.
