I don’t buy the claims that Damus or Nostr are not censorship resistant.
Damus could, if it wanted to, work on a different platform.
Apple having the ability to kick you out of app store is not the same as not being censorship resistant. It simply means you don’t have access to one important marketing channel.
It sucks not being able to show where people search, but that’s not the same as being totally censored.
Nostr is even more resilient. Yes, anything can be silenced if there’s a coordinated effort, but that’s not what censorship-resistant means. It’s just not censorship-proof.
