I can't deliver a knowledge base every time I want to discuss protocol design, so I make efforts to speak in understandable abstractions that touch the soft spots.
I have attempted to share feedback and designs with nostr for years. I have known fiatjaf since before nostr existed. Aside from talking to fiatjaf himself, that experience has been horrendous. Maybe you can forgive me if my candor is too abrasive or short.
Anyway, it's censorable because the relay model is no different than the website model in practice. At scale it requires permission, and nostr has no solution for discovery once permission is revoked.
Quite simple, but undermines the entire project.
We discovered a better way, and that makes it really difficult to tolerate nostr tribalism.
I could go on, about other design flaws, but that is at least one answer for you!
