Primal has a known track record of censoring individuals from their algorithmic feed from their caching server. I suggest you use any client but Primal. The UI is well done and if it were built according to principles of decentralization and freedom it would definitely be my daily driver. But I think trading liberty and the future of Nostr’s decentralization for convenience is a devil’s bargain. Use any client but Primal.

That’s not censorship.. Nostr by nature of its decentralisation, will always have slightly different number of likes and comments depending on which relays you connect to. As far as I know, @primal caching server does exactly that: caches the data from the relays. It is open source and also you can run your own, as well as connect to different relays, in the Primal settings.

the relays in the primal settings are for writing. the app reads directly from primal's caching server only - not from relays. and their caching server controls which posts to show and in which order. it's curating and filtering on your behalf. yea the source might be open, but there's no way to know what version they're actually running and with which environment variables and settings wrt content/filtering/censoring/deboosting/shadow-banning, etc

I stopped using Primal when it used to be KYC and never went back. I like #nostur and #yakihonne 🔥

Ya ill pass based on that description

Well that's a deal breaker for me, got off the Twatter 'cause just after the 3rd acct Saviour Musk took over, and my account was safe, at the cost of virtually no one ever seeing my posts any more.

Substack is much harder to tell, but feels like shadow-banning happening there as well. Just found Nostr (Efrat Fenigson mention on Geopolitics and EmEmpire) and now see your post about Primal. I want out, which clients would you suggest, or is it more than another client, am I also going to have to configure extra relays or other modifications? Thanks.
