 Thanks for the examples. This sounds like relay issues and client issues. Not censorship. Are you using the same relays on these clients and these npubs? Your different npubs need to have the same relays to communicate unless the client is using an Outbox model - many do not yet. I don't think Primal renders nevent or naddr events yet. Many clients don't.

 Last time I configured relays I set nos.lol as my main one, and that one has seemed functional enough for now, so I haven't changed my settings, but I have been jumping around between different web apps on an old phone and not checking how each web app handles relays. I see it as real-world stress-testing.

I should put it like this, what I see with nostr is some censorship resistance, and a lot of potential for censorship resistance, but not enough censorship resistance.

People hype nostr's censorship resistance up like it's already hit one of these milestones when it hasn't yet:

* Clearly matching the functionality of state of the art electronic communications 
* Clearly surpassing the rest, becoming the new state of the art in and of itself 
* Pushing the state of the art back to where it was at the peak of human technology, like when Aaron Swartz was still alive at least
* Surpassing the most freedom of speech humans have ever had

 Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. That's the problem here, obviously...
