 What happens if Brazilian condom head decides to ban certain Nostr apps like Damus or Primal? 

Yeah - I get that you could just go swap client, but how is that materially different to just using a VPN for X ?

 Not the same problem. Seems like it because the app and the service are the same with X. But I can’t go to the *web* version of X. Their IP is banned. Nostr and the apps people use are separate things.

If they tried to do that with a popular relay, nothing would change for basically anyone. If they ban the app from the AppStore, you can still just use the same account and relays in any web client.

 Humans are infinity more motivated to seek Immutable Truth and Empathy Abuse than any centralised obstacles that can be cast ahead of them and are few.

The cost of trying to make a lie true in Fiat terms is infinite too and Fiat by it's nature means they have less resources so to do.

 Yeah that’s just a partial solution.
I like mobile apps. I only use mobile apps for social. I’d never give myself brain damage and get sucked into social on a desktop.
