Exploding-heads is a 'vaccine-skeptic' lemmy instance that has been defederated from most of the Fediverse (lemmy.ml included) due to embracing trumpism. The admin of the nazi-pub is planning to close up shop, and move to Nostr. I think that tells you most of what you need to know about the 'censorship resistance' of Nostr. It's an environment where sane voices can be easily drowned out with the financially motivated professional posters selling cryptocurrency, boner pills, and Russian propaganda.

It's primary feature is that the login mechanism doubles as a cryptocurrency wallet, and you can use it to tip other people in bitcoin. The richest can easily broadcast their views, to the applause of thousands of sycophants, looking to follow the groupthink and collect their satoshi-scraps. It is full of grifters and gullible, and the only thing it deserves from anarchists is derision.

I think Nostr is not that well known, so if yuu have any ressources that explain how it works, that might be really helpful. Probably coolest would information from an anarchist perspective.

It is also more anarchist than the fediverse because your identity there is not bound to a server/domain which can be shut down or moderated at any time.

I feel like arguing if something is more or less anarchist is not that helpful when you try to promote something.

I probably wont join Nostr anytime soon but I wish you and anyone who does a good experience with lots of great connections.

"uncensorable" sounds like this is leaning more towards "anarchism is when no rules" moreso than the political philosophy of eliminating unjust hierarchies. A small anarchist community can absolutely still have rules for said community, assuming they all agreed upon said rules in a democratic manner. I personally have no interest in a community that goes out of its way to ensure hateful ideas are explicitly allowed. To that end, I think the fediverse is much more in alignment with the ideals of anarchism. I think anarchism is really intended for small clusters of individuals who can agree on the rules for that group. Sure they risk echo chambers and can have issues with diversity, and so the federation becomes a way for these groups to exchange ideas etc. with each other. It's still totally fine for specific communities to, say, block out another community that is just too incompatible or otherwise a negative presence.

Why do you think that a lack of structure, a design in which service nodes are no more than "dumb relays", represents a higher refinement of anarchist objectives or values, compared to a federation of autonomous sites?
