If by banning you mean shamming 😏
No, but 360 dunking on them all day
No, they might be stupid and wrong but they are allowed to be stupid and wrong.
That's the neat part. You can't. And that's a feature.
And how exactly would we do that? Nostr is for enemies
Not even almost.
Asking that, means you are one of them
Heck No, What kinda Freedom would that be? Selective freedom isn't freedom.
Can you ban anything at all from Nostr? Thought the was the whole point...
When you cross that threshold you become the very aggressor you fought against.
banning socialists and communists could be seen as extreme and counterproductive. A balanced approach that enforces rules consistently while respecting free speech might be more effective.
Good luck trying lmfao
💁♂️ 
No. 😐
What a dumb question. Everybody has a voice, especially the oppressed.
Have you tried calling Nostr support? Reaching out to the head of content moderation? Possibly HR? @Tatum Turn Up @jb55
Nostr is for everyone even people we hate. Speech must be free even if and especially when we disagree 👀
What fun is that? I'd rather they be bullied off the platform, as God intended.
🤡
As soon as we start banning, we're taking away freedom..
The moment you start to ban people with opposing ideas (how stupid those ideas ever may be from your perspective) you saw the seed of oppression that will at some point used against you... this has been proven time after time in human history
nostr is leaky... the events are the media
Denied
Why? In diversity we find challenges and in challenge opportunities.
And even the self-oppressed. 😆
No, but relays where statists are banned or discovery mechanism for non-statists I would appreciate. Or maybe badge-rating mechanism.
You can't ban people, that's not how Nostr works. Mastodon works that way though, through the power of network effect of the servers, it was (last time I checked) very socialist-leaning. Thankfully something like that is not possible on Nostr - your identity is not tied to any particular relay, so if someone bans a relay, your identity can be (and usually still is) multi-relay.
That's like saying banning people from using Bitcoin. Is not how this works.
I was looking at nostr.wine and other paid relays, they seem to be perhaps slowing getting there. I'm not sure it's better than running your own relay at this point though.
But say you had this special relay, but also wanted the public ones, it's not clear to me how to direct the note to the special one and not the public ones etc...
Perhaps amethyst can do it, it is the emacs of nostr clients.
It defies the purpose of having a social media that puts freedom of speech on a pedestal, no?
I only meant it for global feed to be usable. If you go to the global feed of that relay, no statists nor spam should be there.
Of course the way Nostr is designed the notes will be rebroadcasted by clients, etc
Think ideas should be fought with ideas. Discussions and debates should always be encouraged.
Why? Just don't follow them. Easy.
No
No, but I do like to automatically suppress reach of the scammers and spammers. WoT should help keep it decentralized.
WoT?
they slide into replies
No I would rather mock their poor ideas and use words to convince them nothing is free and their policies lead to death, destruction, and basically the opposite of everything they promise. IRL is a different story, but in cyber space it's much harder to violate one's private property so I don't think censorship is the answer.
