Ben Eng on Nostr: We should state the criteria for decentralization in a manner that protects users ...
We should state the criteria for decentralization in a manner that protects users from censorship both from external actors (including states) and from server administrators. In that sense, Nostr is superior to all because the end user holds the own nsec private key, which represents their account identity and everything tied to their account, most importantly their social graph. With this custody, users are free to migrate to other relays, and maintain their state. Not so for other services.
