We're all pre-disposed to believe "censorship-resistance" is a killer selling point for anything, but for a social network it is NOT.
99% lurk and can't be censored by definition.
Maybe 1% of poasters get censored.
So by pitching nostr as "censorship-resistant" you are striking a cord with 1 in 10,000.
