jb55 (nprofile…k0h3) ultimately as authority over Damus in the exact same way Elon has authority over X. Sure nostr is a protocol, and you can take your npub to another client if for any reason Will becomes untrustworthy or exploitative with his control, so it's slightly more decentralized. But if a real black swan ever occurred and the people trying to snuff out free speech globally ever wanted to crack down it wouldn't be very difficult for them to coerce and extort the people running the various clients into compliance. Trust as a security strategy does not work over long time frames no matter how you encode the logic of your system.
