Correct. Relays and clients can censor you to some degree, but you can then just chose other relays and clients to use. There is no *owner* or CEO or board. Welcome to the new internet.

Good to know. Thanks.
Are there things that increase my score again among the relays?
What if I posted the exact same welcome message to a bunch of newbies in a short period of time? 👀
That's so crazy it might work!

Also Signal now allows people to connect without exchanging phone numbers.
Vitamin C, vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, ivermectin, nebulizing saline solution with iodine. Happy to send a few links and brands if helpful.
You can try NewPipe if you are on Android
Regulations are a huge part of the issue too. You *CAN'T* go back without rolling back a lot of regulatory tape. There is a modern pickup truck sold in India that is just a pickup, almost no digitization, no bells and whistles.
It is illegal to sell or import it into the US.
Make Cars Great Again. This mainly means making cars cars again, instead of computerized surveillance boxes on wheels.
A good friend orange-pilled me. Sometime after I happened upon Mark Moss's YT channel and learned a lot from him. Eventually I discovered guys like nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef046hce4, nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqgevlfj, nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw, nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5klqft7, nostr:nprofile1qqs8k0mcqd6sw3h524qn5gslszt9am9knmes3uh268dgnnpv3yfwj6qpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuum9d45hxmmv9ejx2a30y7ph8a, nostr:nprofile1qqs25hnvelruklp5x8gjkr4yhql9kd2zwcp9ygyq565xrz2s2flczxcpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef05pks73, and others. I understood so little of the fiat system before discovering bitcoin. That discovery, and gleaning insight and wisdom from these guys, has really changed my life.
And not just my life. As the father of three young children, it is now also a blessing to my generations, however many the Lord sees fit to establish.
"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children". Bitcoin has made this more possible for our family than it would have ever been in a fiat system.
Trust in my friend's judgement is what initially made me believe, and then the further down the rabbit hole you go, belief begets conviction.
I'll let others duke it out over lightning walets. I'll advocate for Envoy and ProtonWallet for on chain only wallets in case you are also interested in that.
Also, get yourself a lightning or ecash wallet connected so people can zap you.

Start following people and look through their follow lists to find others. You are your own algorithm here.
Once you get your feet wet, it is worth learning a bit about how the relays work.
You can also check out the larger ecosystem here: nostrapps.com
The list is not exhaustive but a good representation of what is available. If you decide to explore other clients or Nostr apps, I recommend using a signing app and not typing in your nsec directly. Amber for Android is good. Nostr Connect and nsecbunker are other options.
If you have questions, you can use the asknostr hash tag.
