Well, I got censored. Three times. So there's that. They're patently lying. Which makes it a honeytrap ? If the amethyst client did the censoring then there's a problem with the protocol. Something stinks here

Individual relays can decide to stop hosting your posts, but as long as some other relays keep them, then people can see them. This is why it's a good idea to connect to many relays simultaneously. It seems very unlikely that all relays would drop your posts. How do you know your post was censored? Were people interacting with the post for a while before it suddenly vanished, or what?

See the attached , the post had a "sensitive viewing" cover notification plastered over it. Two posts. Another post was deleted.I didn't do any of that. Don't know how to so that. So, who did it in a "censorship resistant network" I don't want to go into the network layer and start screwing around with config. Get a proper network layer, like Bitorrent mainline DHT. https://image.nostr.build/f204b03ae17f82bcd9ad7e52f10a72d2a1bf09b966a2741bb16700e6af26e351.jpg ?

Regarding the deleted post, it might just be a latency thing. I was trying to view your other posts, but there were none. Then about 10 minutes later they started showing up. I guess sometimes it takes time for information to propagate in distributed systems, especially over Tor. Also, how old was the deleted post? Many free relays delete posts after a certain amount of time, according to anecdotes, and it happened to me as well, but my post was definitely more than a month old.

Could be. I was not too worried about the deleted post for that reason. My posts that were censored were in a thread started by Peter Todd, I though he may have tampered with them , until I saw 2 of his posts also were censored in the same way. Unless he censored himself. Weird. Bottom line. We need a tamper proof network , otherwise what's the point ? Bitorrent with over 10m nodes probably gives you at least a few tens of thousands of nodes for your posts , out the gate.

Nostr seems to be pretty tamper proof. Popular clients do allow users to report abuse though. For example, you can report a post as spam. It's up to relays and clients to accept or reject the report, and decide what to do with that information though. Maybe that's what happened with some of your posts.
