* shitpost warning * Westerners dunking on human rights campaigners who have been imprisoned by some of the worst regimes on the planet is gross Liberal democracy is very, very far from perfect It's not the ultimate way of getting along (I would hope) It's not absolute freedom It's not enough freedom But cynicism toward liberal democracy is a Western decadent luxury People living under the alternatives would give their front and back teeth for half of Western freedoms And are risking and giving their lives for a freer democratic future For their people Calling human rights campaigners "CIA" is moronic Rudely attacking them as they onboard to nostr is doubly moronic Sorry not sorry

"When broadcasting an event, Clients SHOULD: Broadcast the event to the WRITE relays of the author" I think perhaps it needs more flexibility to cover client configuration with paid relays So relays defined in kind 10002 could have separate read and write values for the author vs all others
