# Nostr is pro-censorship
In [Keys are meaningless](nostr:naddr1qqyxxc35vdsngdmpqyghwumn8ghj7enfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgzyqalp33lewf5vdq847t6te0wvnags0gs0mu72kz8938tn24wlfze6qcyqqq823cs34ccf) we hopefully made it clear that keys are not central to Nostr's idea, in fact keys are just an unnecessary burden that enables something much more important: relays.
The fact that one user, through their client, can reach out to a huge number of these servers hosted anywhere, and that each user can publish their stuff to any of them, from a modest server at his basement to a big cloud relay hosted by a big company, without anyone having to trust any of these: this is the core of the Nostr idea.
And the fact that Nostr relies on an open ecosystem of privately-owned relay servers is the only thing that ensures a proper incentive structure and gives it a chance of working: while other centralized platforms and protocols in the past -- even those that have tried to be very open and anti-censorship -- ended up struggling against what whom or what should be allowed to be published or not -- because after all they relied on a big common "global" pool of messages that had to be interpreted by apps.
That reliance kills the entire idea because at the very least someone has to host the content, and hosting that content has a cost, it has moral implications and also legal implications, so at some point someone, somewhere, has to make a decision to stop hosting some things, or restricting some users from publishing and so on, and there will never be a global agreement between all the peoples of the Earth about whom or what should be allowed and what should be disallowed. Even a rate-limit, IP blocking or other naïve measures that a server must necessarily take in order to survive on the internet, are a form of "censorship".
On Nostr none of that is a factor because each relay is independent of each other and there is no global pool of content, by definition. Because of that, and because it's the job of the readers to figure out from where to read, no relay has any obligations to please all the peoples of the Earth and is free to impose any limits or policies it wants.
Of course all of that breaks down if apps relinquish their obligation to figure out what relays to read from and decide to read from a static list of relays, but that should have gone without saying.

How do you test this ting ? Can public audience test it ? If so where and how ? Developer have tools to test thing, what about public ? Should we make a platform on Nostr where general public audience can test apps ? It gives the power of apps to people … and not to company or bussiness ☺️

⚡️🎞️ ARCHIVE - Legendary botanist David Bellamy lost his position at the BBC after dismissing the man-made climate change narrative as "poppycock".
Interviewer: "Do you believe man-made climate change is happening?"
Bellamy: "Absolutely not... There is no actual proof. There are a whole series of computer models, and you can fiddle computer models to say what you like."
"There is no proof at all scientifically, there are just models... It is total poppycock."

Yes thank you I received 100, thank you so much for 69 and ekstra 31 😁.
I guess it work fine .
I always think the main problem of relay is the slow performance.
It’s simply because the more people using the same relay , the more traffic and heavy the capacity and it slow down the relay .
I could be wrong .
It’s weird.
But weird is a new trend .
the raise of AI is really symbol of Internet intelligence . Thus the Internet has its own way to screen us the human , our pattern and our behaviour on the internet. Whenever you search then the first come out result is AI result . DARPA is just some
