Why do people say you control your own data on Nostr? You don't don't control your own data unless you run your own relay and host your own media.

How many users are actually hosting their own relay and media? Very few.

Is it possible to get censored?

It's still possible to get censored unless your run your own relay getting censored is much hard on Nostr.

Theoretically it is possible. All relays would have to agree at once to delete your content.

Because there are local relays. E.g. Nostr relay for android: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

"Theoretically it is possible. All relays would have to agree at once to delete your content." - Very unlikely scenario (e.g. I use more than 20 relays), but it just means you posted something horrendous and should be censored - I would call it moderation.

But somehow all of my relays lost my metadata event and my displayname have changed to the previous one 🤪. Use paid relays if you don't want your events to be deleted for reduction of storage costs.
