Lemme get this straight. So, basically #Nostr clients just get all the meta data, social graph, and events associated with an npub from the relays?
the taliban shutdown the queer.af domain, killing the queer.af mastodon instance. users of the queer.af mastodon server just lost their entire social graphs. nostr is different. nostr is superior in this regard. if a nostr relay or client operated on the queer.af domain and the taliban shut that down, users could just start posting to a different relay or start using another client, continuing their social usage with just a little bit of a hiccup. nostr is truly decentralized and truly censorship resistant.

Yes, but we don't publish to just one central relay. We publish several or dozens. If one relay goes down, most people don't even notice. We spread the data around. ActivityPub does not do this in the same manner.
