JackTheMimic on Nostr: Can somone explain how a direct P2P connection like say I2P is not censorship ...
Can somone explain how a direct P2P connection like say I2P is not censorship resistant since it also focuses on privacy? I think this is more of a misunderstanding between a want to be social and a want for secrecy. Nostr isn't private because you are literally attaching a public/private key pair to every transmission. Censorability is about centralization versus decentralization. It is not inherent to privacy that you centralize your protocol.
