Not really? You could have thousands, hell millions of people who love your twitter account or your podcast but if a critical mass (not even a majority! just a large and sufficiently noisy minority) complain about you, you're gone.

On Urbit there are 65k tracker nodes and ~4B permanent peer nodes. So long as a single 1 out of those 65k is willing to sponsor you and broadcast your location anyone can find you and get packets from you, and even if the last 1 gets sick of you he's still just the equivalent of a torrent tracker: anyone who is already your peer will continue to see you on the network. It doesn't matter how many enemies you have or which corporations you piss off, you know? You're your own platform, once you install the software to share tweets or photos or interviews or whatever there is no one left between you and your audience to play gatekeeper.
