 Nostr isn't superior in every way.
Centralization has technical advantages. It makes meaningful search easier. It makes discovery easier.

I think it's important to recognize and be honest about the inherent limits of Nostr.
What I hope will happen is that more people will use Nostr, alongside with centralized (or federated, like Mastodon) platform with express free speech policies.

 Thank you.

There is Minds, which used to support Nostr and it no longer does (if not to an extent so minimal it might just as well not), but it does have permissive policies.
It doesn't have the benefit of censorship resistance, but it does have some technical advantages and I think it's reasonable to guide people towards both, making sure to point out the differences.

As for Nostr, it'd be nice to have relays with express free speech policies in different countries (so that they won't all be influenced by one government).
