How is this different than Mastodon and Fediblock? It seems to be the exact same, except even gayer as at least people on the fediverse were freedom loving enough to leave twitter ages ago. The nostr crowd is a bunch of censorship loving lemmings who stayed on twitter and accepted ever more egregious censorship until nostr like a month or two ago

Its much easier to move between relays then mastodon servers.
Your pubkey isn’t tied to one relay. You can broadcast your events to any relay you have access to. Go read the fucking protocol before spewing out all this shit. Get off your high horse.
Yes, and anyone can start a fediverse instance, but if relays are censoring it is highly likely they are going to create something like fediblock to not relay any messages from "bad" relays, so it is not any different from mastodon except that people can switch relys/instances easier. got it thanks for confirming it's a larp
nostr isn’t less censorship resistant just because some relay operator can deny your pubkey access to the relay. You can host your own relay or broadcast your events to someone that is likeminded. If people are interested in what you write about, they’ll subscribe.
What are you talking about?
nostr is a single identity that works cross platform, cross network.
If your followers know your ID then then can connect across any platform, any network.
until the relays you are using dislike your posts and remove them then they disappear. it seems like starting your own relay is the only solution but if other relays are already censoring this early after larping super hard about how nostr is censorship resistant that a fediblock style group ban of "bad" relays is inevitable
Which relays have removed your posts?
I highly doubt any relay owner at all is reading all the notes and moderating their database.
not my posts, #[8] is the guy who has had posts and DMs removed. He told me it was happening and he is telling the truth because his messages and posts are then unavaialble on my client, it says post deleted and you can no longer view them
Nope, relays just melted because user base has spiked 10,000% in 48 hours.
No relay is moderating anything. The relays are hobbyists who are all working their day job rather than passing judgement on some tedious tin foil hatter.
No it's censorship, not a relay running out of resources, because he has shown me examples of it happening to others beside him who also posted controversial views
Nonsense. It’s a failure to understand what relays are.
Nonsense? I don't think you're the one who understands, it was happening before the damus app store approval by several days, and it is directly due to the controversial unpopular views he was posting about. For you to ignorantly deny that it is happening and try to tell me I am not understanding it when it is you who doesn't understand is hilarious
What is the noteID and what relays did he send it to?
Have to ask him. #[7] What were the messages and which relays censored you?
I wrote these dements twice, when I copied the text the fucking java on astral lost the text so much for usability apart censorhip.
Now to you dements.
First of all you can login with my pub key to views difference between relays. To make it simpler you can test with this user's post #[12] he has one post. Let's if and GUESS on which servers you can find it if you don't even know from censored relay to look for it. Do you expect every user doing this whole day every day imbeciles?
Secondly several of you confirmed right here that relays do censor that "it's their right" [to prevent others from seeing posts = censorship]. Meaning general public will not know where they can find my posts as they will not see them they won't even know those posts exist This is exactly the same as on mastodong censored gay servers except at least there people know thay can find posts on one server, here you don't even know which relay hosts which posts, you need to guess which is impossible. LOL
If anyone thinks this means it's [censorship-resistance] working you are dumb as fuck no wonder you are all vaxxed faggots without life so you shitcoin larp here hypocriticaly pretending you are against censorship.
Nostr not only isn't censorship-resistant. It's design looks to be inherently made easy to censor for relay operators. I don't even see your posts from iris. Which relays should I guess and suck out of my thumb to connect and see them? Morons!!
Grandma comes here to search for truth about jews lying about holocaust, or how vaccines kill. Opens iris with 10 fucking servers > types "holohoax" despite me posting it, she finds shit > "It's grandmas failure..." LMAO you clown
Will see what "KILL ALL JEWS" or holocaust "denial" does. KYS faggot. "Hobbysts" you fucking demented religious believer. Prove it. Show me names retard. Get another vaxx fuckwit theose you had didn't work yet.

If OP seems to be easily censored like that, it is quite likely that they were just posting to a handful of relays owned by the same entity - which is just bad practice anyway.
The point is that you can post to multiple relays under the same identifier (public keys), so if your posts are censored on one, people can access your other relays to retrieve your posts.
Sounds like you didn't get it actually
I get that my friend's posts have disappeared and so have his DMs, several times already, due to censorship. Seems like you don't get what free speech or censorship resistance is supposed to mean
You realise that nobody apart from the sender and recipient can read the DMs?
relay operators still have the oppertunity to delete DMs from the relay DB
you say this but it seems like a relay deleting someone from it also removes the DMs the person sent?
I write to 8 relays currently. That's probably too much but you see the point? If one of them deletes my DMs it doesn't matter
That really sucks but it still doesn’t have anything to do with censorship resistance or free speech. If one relay blocks you, you’re not blocked from nostr. You’re blocked from someone elses DB.
I also had some problems with DMs and posting notes yesterday after the Damus surge, you sure it wasn’t just that? I haven’t seen what your friend wrote about it.
with all due respect this is a cope, the same could be said about tainted bitcoin which gets you either seized funds , frozen funds or law enforcement problems because you made a trade on bisq. sure bitcoin itself is "censorship resistant" but if the outcome is exactly the same as if it wasn't censorship resistant then it is just a massive cope to justify a design flaw which permits such an attack
