The issue with censorship has never been about hosting your content.
Since the 90s anyone can run their own web server and host whatever content they wanted.
If you were banned from Twitter there was a bunch of platforms ready for you to post your content to.
The problem is if people will actually find and see your content.
Everyone post to Twitter because they have a chance of being seen. You post to other less popular platform and nobody will find you.
That’s where the censorship is relevant. Twitter might not ban you, but you don’t show up on people’s feed. I don’t see what I think is relevant but what somebody else decides is relevant for me.
When I point out Nostr doesn’t actually solve this problem people accuse me of wanting to force others to see my content.
Makes zero sense, but happens again and again.
