>The bittorrent DHT may not be subject to sybil attacks, but it only has 3 (AFAICT) public well-known on-ramps. Take those three down and people who don't already have a node list can't get on
To be fair to PKARR it directly addresses the problem of limited bootstrapping mechanisms, like that's the whole idea.

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.
