In nostr you write a post and send it to a server. Relays can accept it or censor it. The latter: you just make your own relay. But there’s no cost to you or anyone else doing this, there’s no proof of work. It can be meddled with (and again, sure, you could create your own network) but you’re (1) choosing to ignore what’s supposedly on the server already (aka censoring) or (2) it’s cheap to create hostile relays that collude. It’s probably better for free speech than Twitter, but god it’s so painful as a base layer. At least to me.
