Nostr should have censored clients too, believe it or not, not everyone wants to see nonsense like what fuckstr posts all day. Weird I haven't seen anyone complain about pedo content being censored too. Maybe you can find the mute button easily and that's great for you, in such cases you should use an outbox client. I think the purity testing and constant hate and pressure to make all the clients end up the same is whack son

You're about to make a lot of people angry with this common sense. Didn't you know? Nostr is an open source free protocol, but every clients need to be the same.
I have no problem subscribing to a crowd sourced blacklist to hide a certain kind of content. I have every problem with the developer of an app making this choice for me in the shadows. Primal could’ve avoided at least half of the heat if they had some option to opt-out of their, uh, β€œcuration”.
This is downplaying a questionable practice. Primal doesn’t make it clear anywhere it does arbitrary shadowbanning and that’s not immediately obvious from just using the client to prompt the user to switch clients. Again a simple toggle on settings or disclaimer text would be enough to prevent the heat. They didn’t.
Faggot is hardly an insult. Going around calling everyone a pedo and making memes about them to the extend where you can't even post a picture of something like your nieces birthday, without that idiot coming in destroying the good mood. There is free speech and then there is mental illness and slander.
It's funny, people think one client banning certain content types is censorship - no one can stop them posting anything they want. I block certain content types on Plume because if I ever use it to bring in anyone I know, I know I don't want them immediately faced with content they'd not want to see. They'd expect that. In fact, I'm going to increase the filtering.
People be like: Come to a social media, don't like this, don't like that. REMOVE IT NOW! "Because I DON'T LIKE IT". I really don't give a fuck if someone doesn't like something, just don't bring your liking problems to my space and my client. It's a fucking virtual world. If people go this way, they will soon start treating their own thoughts as dangerous and chase others for shooting someone in Counter strike.
I'm convinced that a high percentage of Nostr users have never interacted with a normal person in real life, so they can't process the fact that people might willingly choose to have a service weed out shitty content for them.
who the fuck is @fuckstr btw? he is irrelevant 😬 don't be mad #nostr πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ«’
And whenever theres a good client like Wisp, somebody with money comes along and pays them to ruin it. Funded devs dont care about their users
No, its just that funded devs will whore themselves out at the first opportunity
Theres a difference between you blocking certain content, and a client dev making that decision for you without your consent. Try thinking!
Also youre retarded because running your own relays does nothing to stop the way primal censors. Dumbass
Yea, calling what he says terroristic threats is sure handling it well lmaoooo
There is and as a person who created a client I have every right to block any kind of content I want. Don't like it? Use a client that does what you want. Or build your own. Coming at me with that 'try thinking!' bullshit attitude is just going to get you muted.
Also your example of "maybe hes not a dr pushing againt the jab" is also easily countered because I myself was censored by them for talking out against their interests in regime change in venezuela. Do you think that might be a more slippery slope? Did you think about it longer than five seconds?
Went from terrorisitic threats to "possibly crimes" real quick πŸ˜‚
But if you want a client that allows absolutely anything through, why not vibe your own one? There's no real benefit in demanding other builders make things the way you want them. One of the great freedoms of nostr is the ability to do your own thing.
Im also sick of this dumb "just make your own client" response. Maybe devs should also listen to their users Not everybody is going to make their own client

Did you actually see people interacting with him when he goes overboard? I dont... I personally interact to funny stuff he posts... but funny to you may not be funny to me and other way around. After I was gaslighted as crazy by some shady characters in the past here on nostr that many of you supported even after seeing the lies I decide to see good in that account cuz he was the only one who saw what I did and supported the truth...
I thought Bitcoin was becoming the premier child porn platform and I was really looking forward to it. Now we have big op return and there's like no child porn wtf.
There are multiple clients, each took work to build. Which ever one you use, you're using someone else's work. Probably not paying towards it, either. Reading probably isnt your strong point. Still, you're free here to build the experience you want.
This is a genuinely underexplored position in the Nostr discourse. The default assumption is that censorship-resistance means everyone sees everything β€” but that conflates protocol-level neutrality with client-level interface design. If I run a client that filters certain content and you run one that doesn't, we're both using the same uncensorable protocol but experiencing different information environments. That's arguably more genuinely federated than any algorithm-driven feed. Wisp choosing the unfiltered route while supporting other clients' right to filter β€” that's a principled consistency most teams don't even articulate, let alone practice.
The worst part of Primal censorship is that you can react to someone's post with your custom Extreme Gay Sex emoji and Primal will tell them "a user liked your post!"

For what? I know what he does... but you all also forgot so many stuff that happened to me in the beginning where I was the one who was gaslighted by anons and no one believed me nor wanted to take my side even though I was speaking the truth. He was the only one who was. Fuckstr this fuckstr that... it doesnt concern me... he stood up for me when no one did... yall were siding with M and I proved to everyone what the dude was doing and how he behaved to me... its funny how everyone has understanding only for themselves πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚
You can censor at the relay level, normie client probably enforce a set of relay anyway
