If you were to include censorship resistance in the definition, which would you say are currently the most *decentralized* Nostr clients, and the least *decentralized* clients?

If I were to break up the clients into different "classes", this is how I'd group them:

**Most decentralized**
(direct connections to relays, no algorithmic filtering, uses NIP-65/Gossip model to prevent bunching up of users in a handful of major relays):
- Gossip
- Coracle
- Snort (gossip feature being tested here: https://relay-lb.snort-social.pages.dev/posts)
- Nostros

**Medium decentralized**
(direct connections to relays, no algorithmic filtering, but prone to bunching up of users in a handful of major relays)
- Damus
- Amethyst
- Iris
- Nozzle
- Blockcore Notes
- Nostrid

**Less decentralized**
(Indirect connections to relays through a centralized aggregator and/or mixed with direct connections, no algorithmic filtering, prone to bunching up of users in a handful of major relays)
- Nostrgram
- Broadcstr

**Least decentralized**
(Indirect connection to relays through a centralized aggregator, algorithmic filtering of some feeds, prone to bunching up of users in a handful of major relays)
- Primal
- Member.cash
- Minds
