And that's something heavily underrated about Nostr that is usually an issue with centralized social media -- it is generally Tor/VPN friendly.

That could change if relay ops have issues with spam, but for now it's true at least.

 I’ll plug a friend’s repo here. They’ve been getting together a list of known relay ops committed to providing an onion address.

 There is a NIP already to introduce PoW for spam mitigation. If that's implemented at some point, relay operators would not need to exclude Tor/VPN users, they could either demand payment in sats or proof of work for peers, that only want to connect to that relay occasionally.  
 What do you think of veilid Seth?.  Is it more promising than Nostr?  https://veilid.com/

Seems like it could solve a lot of problems nostr can't.
