 Sir, these are nearly the same arguments made against #bitcoin since 2009. Quite literally speaking, both #nostr and bitcoin were specifically and painstakingly designed to not be censored.

I say this as gently and respectfully as possible, these “what if” arguments are retarded.

 did you read the OP note? I think you should re-read it again, then read what I said. 
Take any dev that currently builds on nostr out, and what, whose going to take up the reins, you the community? 

there's a reason @fiatjaf  is @fiatjaf

 So your new premise is now a hypothetical scenario where all capable nostr software developers are “disappeared” and therefore no single person is left use the protocol to build a new client or relaunch an old one?

Again, this is retarded Sir. You are clearly trolling.

 If William disappears because Nostr is so big and important you don't think there will be any other programmer in the world capable of forking it and continuing to develop it? And you don't think there will be a myriad of other independent apps people can switch over time?

 I was just thinking nostr deva should really think about going anonymous seriously ! 

We know doxxed devs are a weak link in a resilient system now 🔥
