Nostr isn't censorship resistant.

why?
Why? What are you doing to improve it?
He made a competitor
What is the competitor? That's good
Confusingly it's called Pubky. I hope they change the name. https://synonym.to/team
I don't know where to find info about it, except on podcasts with him (John Carvalho.) It's a decentralized app platform, or something along those lines.

Actually, it is, along a spectrum. Censorship is not an either/or binary is or is not thing. It moves along a scale from easily censored completely, to mostly censored, to quieted, to openly spoken, to loud and mostly heard without any hindrance.
I'm sure you're trolling point is that "Pubky is more censorship resistant," so, you could have simply said that.
But, the point here is, to say nost isn't "censorship resistant" is inaccurate. That's like saying spf 15 is not UV resistant. It is, but along a scale.
I am not trolling, I am informing.
Instead of mental gymnastics just explain what makes Nostr more censorship-resistant than the web it already relies on.
Actually, I was informing you about how your term "censor resistant" is misused. I wasn't arguing that nostr is "more censorship-resistant than the web it relies on." So, what you were trying to say would be, "Nostr is no more censorship-resistant than the webit already relies on." That is your argument. Sliding scale.
I'll use another analogy. People often say, "I can't sing." But, of course, they can in fact sing. What they're actually saying is, "I can't sing well, or I can't sing as well as that person. Yet u can still sing better than that person with the frog voice." Sliding scale.
What does censorship resistant mean?
That it can still work if the government doesn't like what people say or do with it.
Doesn’t Pubky follow the same pattern around relay servers that Nostr does? Meaning the servers are dumb and easy to spin up?
No. Pubky uses a different model because you do not need nostr-style relays if you have PKDNS.
Wouldn’t that mean that Pubky would be able to be *more* censorship resistant than Nostr? If so, why is the compliance issue a big deal when Pubky would make it easier to distribute content?
