People who are "word thinkers" will be very confused by the idea that nostr is both censorship-resistant and pro-censorship.
Nostr helps ensure that people who want to be heard, and their listeners who want to hear them, can continue in their free speech. As long as people have access to the Internet, without much effort people can keep these free speech channels open. But it takes two to tango. Both the speaker and the listener (and their relays) must choose not to close down or censor the communication. Nostr also empowers users and relays to censor out anything they don't like or want.
This is like having your cake and eating it too.
