This is exactly the strategy I was referring to in the discussion on NIP-77: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1208#issuecomment-2158905904

It's such an obvious gatekeeping move. "The new-ish thing you're writing about hasn't been written about enough already by state media, so references to its own documentation aren't tolerated".

If you can't write a wiki about it, it's harder for others to learn about it, thus harder for "non-primary" sources to write about it, thus harder to provide citations that wikipedia gestapo approve. nice and circular.

The lines are drawn. Probably better to just stay outside them and flash the middle finger to the pearl-clutchers standing inside as you Exit.

You're right about that.

But given that the scope of things that "may become illegal in the future" is basically arbitrary and infinite, at some point you just have to throw up your hands and say "I feel morally okay with what I'm doing and I'm basically powerless to hide in perpetuity if I want to share anything I do".

Some day this may not be the case, but I believe it is today, sadly.

If you suspect the government is after you, you definitely should not be posting to Nostr directly. Or using the Internet very much at all.

Drip the relevant information out through trusted channels and let the memes arise slowly "naturally".

Look at Snowden's advice. There is no protocol or hardware that will reliably protect you from state actors - definitely not "pls delete my note, remote server thnx" requests.

If you're that worried about deleting, only post data to your own relay.

Yes, if you store information on other people's computers, it's theirs and they might not delete it. We've learned this already. Nostr doesn't change that.

It wasn't as simple as installing an android app, but I don't remember the installation being overly cumbersome... Maybe my system was already in a friendly state (dependencies or something)

Yea! And there are platforms like make hosting rather trivial: https://www.lamdera.com/

At a glance, though, you'd still need another storage solution with lamdera, so not a magic bullet but still interesting.
