This is a ridiculous claim -- “you haven’t been censored yet, so there’s no censorship or shadowbanning happening at all!” It’s either so egregiously fallacious that you lack the logical capacity to have this discussion, or it is manipulatively dishonest.

People dunk on Primal because they are positioning themselves as a future censor. If they kept their caching server for “experience” but then also connected to multiple relays they don’t control, then it would be reasonably decentralized like any other Nostr client. But they have explicitly made themselves the sole arbiter of what people see on Primal, and have a track record of algorithmic censorship. Regardless of whether they *choose* to censor or not, if Nostr gains traction courts and governments will make that choice for them, and they will not be allowed to say no.
