 If you made an account on reddit 2 years ago, even though reddit was heavily censored, I would have been confident you could message me and have me receive it.

If you didn't want to make an account, I would have been confident you could find someone with an account, have them message me, and have me receive it.

That wasn't censorship resistance, that was a heavily censored level of functionality on a long-zombified reddit years after Aaron Swartz died.

Now I'm on nostr, where I do not suggest expecting messages to get through to me, especially on the mere first or second or third try.

That is not less censored, it's more.

The nostr protocol is designed to have the potential for censorship resistance. It's also a design that gets there very slowly, from what you can see today. Not there yet. 
 You are free to leave and go elsewhere. 
 Censorship and software issues arent the same thing...but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. 
 I'm speaking for the paranoid here, including myself. When posts aren't always going through correctly, saying "censorship resistance" makes the software issues and slow pace of improvement look extra sus. 
 Its cause of relays not sharing content. Just because you're unknowledgeable, that doesn't mean the tech doesn't work. 
 Odd. I read your reply just fine. 
 That is a huge improvement over a year ago and why I'm all in now 💯
