Two levels of censorship-resistance are emerging via open protocols. One is the dns-censorship-resistance model (nostr et al 2020) which is the same model as the current web w/ replication, and subject to take downs.

The second model is the bittorrent-censorship reistance model of the web (pkarr, pubky et al c. 2025) which seems to be holding its own, even against take down requests.

It's trivial to upgrade users to offer both level of censorshp-resistance for nostr devs. And it will be interesting to see which clients are the first upgrade their censorship resistance, and which are the last.

I think we're moving from a first gen nostr which was a proof of concept. To a second gen which actually is verifiably censorship resistant and is scale free. Exciting!
