IF you don't know about any nodes (because you are a brand new user), AND you can't access these three hardcoded one, THEN you are fucked.
No I'm not saying that anybody could ever do better than that. Even in theory I don't think you can do better than that.
What I *AM* saying is that nostr is on the same order of uncensorability as this is. That is, IF you don't know about any relays (because you are a brand new user) THEN you are fucked.

Mainline has many bootstrap vectors, the three famous domains are convenience, not single points of failure.
PKARR provides signed, multi-endpoint records. Nostr relies on trusting third-party relays to actually store and serve your events.
Pubky’s protocol & apps are already open, the polished new app will open once it exists.
So your claims that PKARR “isn’t more censorship-resistant” or “isn’t really open” are disproven.
Thanks for playing.
Ah okay, I get your angle now, fair. I dunno though, would someone ever have an interest in Nostr or Pubky and not know someone on the inside? How would you even come to know of the existence of either if you didn't have a contact? I guess from a blog or article something, but still seems pretty rare to come to a social protocol not via social means, and therefore have an agent of sorts.
