@k4r4b3y @ShadowRebel Yes, self-hosted Tor instance is a way to go if you want to be completely independent. People who don't self-host can link their account to a public key and move to another instance if something bad happens, this is also supported (still experimental and undocumented though; I'll try to find some time to write an explainer).
Finally, the protocol can be extended to support nostr-like architecture with simple relays and rich clients. Maybe I will implement that too, or somebody else can start such project.
