Is a website same as a note or an event ? Keep in mind that over nostr we do not have only dumb notes or memes, we have also events.

I don't think you can compare nostr in general with a website, are 2 different things. Like many are comparing SN with nostr. That is dumb. Just because you can use zaps on both it doesn't mean they have the same purpose or could be compared.

Yes, not in general.

I was only comparing digital freedom on nostr vs digital freedom on your own website.

Even then, it can't be compared. Are two different things. For a website you still depend on a DNS that can censor you. With nostr, for example I can run my own relay and a nostr market over wss and an IP and nobody can stop me or censor me. I will allow only specific npubs to access that relay.

So no, with a website you do not have that total freedom you want. Now for example with nostr we can replace all those Tor underground marketplaces with wss nostr markets.

I hope someday we will have a decentralized DNS but I doubt it. We will have to build a parallel network for that.
