Nostr Web Client

those worried about "nostr CEOs" getting arrested and using that as an excuse to not use nostr aren't being true to themselves or have a grave misunderstanding of free and open source software.

as long as client and relay software is hosted somewhere on the Internet, you can download the software and run it.

additionally, you can't effectively block all of nostr either. nostr operates over port 443 or TOR. 443 is the same port that *all* websites use for secure communication.

it's that simple.

Won’t “they” go after individual node operators? Someone pays the bill for the server, they’ll “make” that entity responsible for “moderation”.

Sure. Here's an example for you. In February 2022 China started blocking access to nostr relays and clients. Many Chinese users are still here. It's a game of Whack-A-Mole.

The goal should be to make it impractical to attack, not impossible. Only the former is actually possible. I'm starting to adopt this view for a lot of things. It's similar to "perfection is the enemy of progress" or however the saying goes. That shouldn't be applied for all issues, but I think it fits well here.
