Primarily, Nostr is not websites on servers. Noster is notes on servers. And at the core of Nostr is the fact that it allows one server to host multiple notes and it allows multiple servers to host one note. All without requiring the user's ownership or input. The only part of Nostr that's vulnerable to censorship is the fact that it's primarily hosted on the clearnet, (just like Pubky) and that it can sometimes be hard to know whether a content search is returning every result. PKDNS isn't a content searching protocol, is it? It's a public key search protocol.

From a censorship perspective, is needing to know the public key of the user you are looking for, is that all that different from needing to know one of the outboxes of the user you are looking for? Isn't that where Pubky gets its censorship resistance from? From the person already knowing something about the person whose posts they want to see?

Also, if ICANN isn't censorship resistant then how is the Pirate Bay still accessible at its same old URL?

Being dependant on a miniscule number of third-party operated relays to communicate with a network peer is...
