On Pubky you have control in the sense that only what's found on your home-server can be considered yours, as in cryptographically linked to you. And you can edit and delete stuff on your home-server at anytime. (Unless you use some future client that signs every note nostr style, but that's not the default way of going about things.)
In terms of read access to your stuff you certainly could control that on Pubky, since the place where things are being read from is your homeserver, not some relay outside of your grasp.
Pubky offers both strong censorship resistance and a high degree control, the trade off is that it didn't emerge from the same sort of quantum soup as nostr, so it's much more managed, at least for now.

How is that different than just using a read-restricted relay?
pubky doesn't have self-sovereign identity?
lol, sounds like blu esky lite. when i was working with that shit i was like "ok, so how do i verify the signatures on these events" haha lol. nope. trust me bro.
pathetic.
it's exactly the opposite
because no one connects to your homeserver but only to one big indexer that indexer can forge anything and grant access to anything
there's zero censorship resistance since the indexer can just kick you out and you lose everything
You can do this on Nostr by not signing your notes
I don't want to have to host everything I post.
And I don't want to have to go look in everyone's hosting location if we are all taking in the same room/community.
I dislike the outbox model for that as well.
So you think no one runs a nostr relay from an on premises server but everyone is gonna run a pubky homeserver?
Okay.
