So they blocked my Telegram account. I came here to test if they also blocked my nostr account.

This has been brought to the attention of the Nostr Admin.
You got me, dude. Viva Samiz
Well akshually they could. i.e. the main relays refuse to store notes from your npub.
Ofc you can publish to your own relay, but whst are the chances normies are connected to it?
Your normie followers should just seamlessly fetch from your outbox relays without understanding how.
Explain.
Assuming you are a persona non grata (the main relays not allowing your notes), would Outbox relays also not censor you? Aren't we just crossing our fingers they won't do that?
That involves that every single relay implementation available on the internet should include your pubkey on a black list. And if that's even possible, you can always run your own.
That persona non grata would alway find a relay that doesn't block him.
If he's a nobody, any random relay would have him.
If he's Satan himself, he still will have worshipper that gladly host his notes.
There's truly no influencer that would get shunned by all the world.
Yep. Exactly like you could always host your own blog + RSS in the old days - except no kne/very few would find you.
Censorship is not about 💯% prevention, but throttling reach (substantially). Reach is the currency of the internet.
And the Nostr network is not immune to that at all (albeit less suceptible than fully centralized platforms, obvs)
Not every single, just the big ones - which most users subscribe too. Probaly less than 20. It's not impossible.
Ideally ppl would publish to their own respective relays, and clients would find them via DHT-style discovery. But that doesnt scale I guess. Hence the current middle ground (some big relays as central access point for 95% of notes)

Even if that's the case (#amethyst for example can connect to 160 relays and still work) there are too many ways to overpass that "censorship". Even ways that are still not defined yet.
The kind of problems you only worry about while no one has it.
You are also missing the Streisand effect. If it's proven than any of those 20 relays are running an internal black list. Everybody will just ran out of them.
Haha
bye, bye censorship social networks!
