Perfectly put. More than likely there will always be censorship. To presume any platform fixes that is foolishness.

I don't think Nostr was ever intended to have no censorship at all, but to be censorship resistant.
I run a relay, and I limit notes it stores to people in my web of trust. Is that censorship? If someone mutes another user so they don't see their notes, is that censorship? Or is choosing what you see and broadcast actually part of your own freedom of speech?
I'm pretty confident I can get my notes out amidst any circumstance.
- I subscribe to a couple good paid relays.
- I run my own relay on a VPS.
- If all those fail, or refuse to host my notes, I have a relay ready to go on my home PC that I can start in an instant.
- If that fails I have a relay setup on my phone, connecting over tor, that I can turn on.
I don't know of any other protocol that gives me those kinds of options.
