Just wanted to explain that the memes you describe come around because they are a symptom of a partly dysfunctional society - people often use humour as a defence mechanism in difficult situations. Memes don’t create “bad” ideas, they portray them.
Appearance of Nostr is also a symptom of mass censorship. It’s the product of the people that resist that censorship. If we go with your process of thinking, Nostr would be the reason for censorship. That’s not the case.
