my position is that seeing things preferentially based on your social graph connections is good and fine but sharing a negative social graph based on who blocks who turns out to cause more problems than its worth

get your mom on nostr so i can say i zaped your mom

I'm just going to note that I've already seen people on here that think it's just peachy to mass-block people through guilty by association, but have repeated or talked to a specific software developer that they didn't know yet is highly controversial elsewhere and already led to mass blocking campaigns on The Other Decentralized Social Network. Because your posts here are cryptographically signed, the evidence of your transgression is permanent. maybe you'll be forgiven, but already on The Other Decentralized Social Network the answer is: rarely, people share lists full of misinformation or stripped context that never get corrected.

I'm not going to keep harping on this (nobody seems to care anyway) but if I see a conversation about it with a developer I'm probably going to participate.

I am a software developer too and I understand that you're a developer and you want to just sit at your computer and code because it's the part that brings you joy. Unfortunately, now you have responsibilities to people and to the network.

Everything about a network isn't just the protocol and if it's technically uncensorable, people aren't here for that shit they are here to talk to other people. You can make choices at every level from the protocol to the relays to the clients that can make a huge impact on if people can use the network effectively or if it's going to turn into another balkanized unusable mess like the Fediverse.
