I think this makes a lot of sense even if I'm not sure what the result of it is.
Maybe a nostr identity is more equivalent to a website (singular and as decentralized as the individuals hosting personal websites) than it is anything else we're familiar with, and on nostr, there will be Google-like centralized services making the websites (identities) and their contents (notes) visible, and it will be how most people see nostr content. When the real Google goes away, or censors a website, the website still exists. This is true in nostr's case too because you can't remove someone's ability to sign notes, and maybe a Bing-like nostr service will still have the identity's notes. If you're using RSS feed-reader, it probably doesn't matter much to you that Google censored your favorite blog.
In this framing, nostr's identities are certainly censorship resistant but do we still stay the notes are censorship resistant?
