What is censorship resistant?

In crypto, censorship resistance refers to the freedom to transact, the freedom from confiscation, and transaction immutability.

Based on this article

BUT how do I test if it's censorship resistance?

Many projects especially on Crypto are claiming they are censorship resistant but if we look deeper is it true? In layman's terms, censorship resistance means unstoppable that NO ONE CAN STOP. If your blockchain can be stopped by anyone like Government entities, it is NOT CENSORSHIP RESISTANT.

If you are the one who is running the project and someone knocks on your door and point a gun to your head and tells you to stop it, can you stop it? If the answer is yes, it means you are not censorship-resistant, and not decentralized

CAN'T stop is not equal to DON'T want to stop

CAN'T > DON'T

What do you think of it? I have spent a lot of time on Twitter and always hear people that they are project is censorship-resistant which is only a claim without any basis, forgive my words but we are only here to help not to attack.

Decentralization alone won’t make a service much harder to take down if all nodes run in EU and the US datacenter regions.

The strength in proof-of-work is that anyone can show up and mine it. In reality the projects will likely break hard if biggest mining pools and their infrastructure are taken offline disturbing communication and synchronization between nodes.

You need to know who you want to serve, who wants to take your project down, what tools they have available and build defence against that.

For example simply moving your servers to a location like Russia could work if you don’t upset the local government. You don’t necessarily need much redundancy.

I doubt we can call it decentralized in that case. Hive is by far can achieve its full potential because of the power of the community.
