This is true. I would also add that nostr’s use of public keys while lacking IP privacy is dangerous because it could mislead posters to believe that they are anonymous.
So not only are relays not decentralized but any govt agent with access to a relay can figure out who you are.

But…
It is foolish how he thought Telegram could indefinitely operate a network without default E2E encryption and not play ball with regimes.
I see the same sort of presumption from Nostr devs/proponents ignoring the core architectural problem of needing relays.
Probably an unpopular opinion but it has to be said. Relays will be the death of Nostr but it’s not too late to fix it. The protocol is still in its infancy.
