hold up there buddy, you are wrong. The internet already was censorship resistant, correct, but the issue is marginalization due to a nuked social graph. Nostr fixes this because for the most part the thing you are ''trying again'' is getting the data hosted, you don't have to '''try again'' to (re-)build your audience and to the extend you do it your starting position is way better; in first instance because your audience does not have to switch apps and in second instance because outbox (of which implementation lacks severely at this moment in time). View quoted note → The same logic is why we bother with Blossom, because it gives us a fighting chance of healing links, instead of re-uploading and creating a whole different link. As for ''Nostr cannot scale for the same reason Bitcoin can't - only much, much worse. For Nostr to work in a censorship-resistant way, everyone has to have a copy of all the data of all the users.'' I frankly don't even understand how you reach such conclusions, it is puzzling and gives me a headache.... It just seems the whole paradigm of things being event-centric and servers being trivialized (in regards to what server) due to tamperproofing is just completely lost on you...wait....is that why you are interested in Pubky, you simply dont get Nostr?

When running a full relay gets too expensive, all apps will rely on two or three of them. When you get censored from those few (or when your constantly hot key is compromised) no one really knows the authoritative source of your data anymore. This is known as "discovery", a feature Pubky has, but Nostr does not. Pubky is also scalable, because apps can utilize indexers to aggregate all of the source data from everyone's personal homeservers.
