Yes primal can censor me, and when they do I'll just stop using primal.
That's the thing a about nostr, it's not owned by primal and damus.
Primal and damus are just clients used to access the protocol.
If I really want to avoid being censored I can even build my own relay with my own personal media hosting.
I'm struggling to see how that's the same as any centralised social media platform.
When Facebook banned me my account was removed you can't even find it anymore, all the information censored and hidden.
Nobody has that kind of power over nostr

Relays are just web servers. If you run your own, no one knows it exists. If you use someone else's, it can censor you.
No one will run a scaled web server for you for free.
No government will allow a scaled web server that does not censor.
Nostr can never scale while preventing censorship.
why does the server itself have to scale so massively? why doesnt ever user have a server and they only scale it according to the content and attention they receive. mine could stay quite small, Kanye's would need to be pretty beefy. Peer-to-peer connections between personal servers. only.
