You’re thinking in a client-server mode when you talk about permission. In a p2p infrastructure I don’t have to push my notes to any place. The audience will have to ask for the notes from the peer they’re requesting from. Being my own host I can publish as my wishes. Having my own private nostr server doesn’t fit the same requirements because it’s like an isolated island without any communication between the servers. It’s not a network (yet?)

Is bitcoin not a network because people use SPV proofs to request data from full-nodes? Your semantic arguments bore me.

I really didn’t get what’s your point talking about SPV. SPV’s request info from another peers in a p2p style. Same as I’m proposing here. Beside this SPV is a “don’t verify, trust” server.
SPV proofs are a user-server model… users only store the block headers. That isn’t P2P because users don’t store the blocks. Therefore, SPV proof requests are like requesting notes from relays.
You’ve got a lot to learn about the differences! :-)
