Unfortunately it is just a closed thing that only talks to its own backend, so it negates all the censorship-resistance properties that Nostr was supposed to have.

Do you know if nostr.band only talks to its own backend or not? seems they also have a trending service.
nostr.band is the same, only talks to it's own backend, no censorship-resistance.
Yes, I know that. nostr.band is not advertising itself as a "client" though.
The line is subtle, but if you don't care about that then you are wrong. If most people don't care then Nostr is dead and we're just wasting our times.
Oh. I kind of got this. nostr.band is more like an information provider, like blockchain.com
oh. would factors such as search be a contradicting tool as it explores keywords ? This has been debated topic for a while. On tribes, love the term but reluctant when i am limited to a mandatory 3 degree network
