They won't "squash" nostr, they will just try to take control of the bulk of the relay traffic either directly or indirectly, buying out or leaning on them. There will be show trials.

Just as none of this ever stopped 4Chan or TheHive or any of the other web 2.0 type freedom of speech platforms from continuing to exist, their ability to squash Nostr is far smaller, since the protocol is designed for being able to work even from a swarm made of home user's connections and a small number of VPS systems in friendly jurisdictions.

A lot of nostriches are in for a little shock to learn that they are gonna have to work for their freedom, and take risks.

4chan is heavily moderated, they just have few rules. Home user nodes arent the simplest solution either, you run a home node how are people connecting? If I run mine behind a VPN then I need a static IP or domain name, either of which can be targeted. If I don't then the feds are kicking my door in. If I run it behind TOR then I'm screwing the network over with cat memes. 4chan is allowed to exist, like you said in the other post, the tools to hamper our activities exist already through targeting DNS. I'm certainly open to having this totally wrong, I'm thinking about ways to subvert this specific issue every day. Maybe we need some kind of decentralized DNS.
