Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized communication protocol designed to avoid censorship and centralized control. It works with cryptographic keys: users have a private key to sign messages and a public key to receive them. Messages are shared through relays (servers) that transmit the information without controlling it.

Benefits:

• Minimal censorship: No central servers to block or delete content.

• Privacy: Users control their own keys and data.

• Decentralization: It doesn’t rely on any platform or company, making it more resistant to failures and manipulation.

Wait, minimal censorship??

because, while Nostr lacks centralized control, individual relays (servers) can choose whether or not to transmit certain messages, which could introduce a small degree of local censorship. However, due to the decentralized nature of the protocol, users can select other relays or even create their own, greatly minimizing the chance of large-scale censorship. But i could be wrong

So it was all a lie from the beginning. It’s not really censorship resistant.
