A decentralized design is better than a wholly centralized one, definitely. The issue arises when it morphs into a cat and mouse game; ambivalent clients and/or relays starting to censor what they consider "undesired" users, others gradually becoming more restrictive, etc.
Nostr client and relay maintainers seem hellbent on doing everything wrong with the fediverse, but on a far worse scale. The point isn't that you can't fuck off and use something else, but pondering how long until you'll no longer be able to do that.
I didn't leave the fediverse just to end up with an experience worse than it.

some clients are going to be better and more popular than thoughts. and it's absolutely possible that those more popular clients may do things that you do not like or approve wholly of, but again, by design you have a choice to not follow suit if you do not want to do so. you say you don't want an experience worse than the fediverse, but on the fediverse you really don't have a whole lot of choices. it's not as censorship resistant as nostr.
i don't think muting is censorship. i don't think they're even remotely related.
I never did have this point satisfactorily responded to.
