That certainly wouldn’t ever happen with a ‘nostr’ company because of political pressure.

The relay operator's can filter anything out or push your stuff to the side... They can also block npubs a lot do that... Gotta burn those nsecs and stay on the move...
So I should probably self host my own relay just to be sure. Seems like self hosting my own content is the best way to prevent a potential rug pull.
After researching and paying for relays I agree.. Primal kinda boss hogs the notes and stuff around the protocol. I think their cache relay service is the only one on nostr protocol haven't found another one and I've searched and asked around .. So if they don't like you around #nostr it doesn't even really matter..
As long as you are broadcasting your nostr events to multiple relays, it would be nearly impossible for a company to remove all of your content from all of nostr. Media on nostr is a bit more centralized, but the blossom protocol is bringing that same redundancy to your media as well, and a few clients are already implementing that. Lightning and cashu decentralize your payments. In what way do you think political pressure could result in you being rug pulled from nostr?
Oh, I’m not talking about nostr as a protocol, I’m more talking about people that choose to host their images or mp3s or whatever on a server they don’t control. I’m not saying they would be taken down, I’m just saying they could be taken down. More that I’d warn people that are coming to nostr for the censorship resistance part to be careful about trusting any platform, even those that seem to be nostr friendly. When your content threatens their business, all that talk about censorship resistance and freedom seems to go away.
