I don’t understand. I can very clearly see your moderation service key backdoor and moderation categories in the code. Screenshot attached. For the record, I do hate speech and support terrorism on Nostr regularly. I’m allowed to do that because it is an actually decentralized protocol. But you can’t do that on Pubky, quite clearly, because it is centrally moderated, just like Twitter and Facebook. image

It isnt a fukn backdoor you fucking ape. It is an optional service for any host including if you were to selfhost. Every fucking user in pubky can tag other keys and content on an open graph so you moderate whatever you want. The service can be totally excluded or customized so you dont need to relay on central anything. And, if you do wanna run a product with it, you have professional grade moderation capability. In pubky you control the data endpoint with your key. Your key is discoverable on mainline. Just assume you are wrong and you can learn how pubky trounces other designs.
"Decentralization doesn’t absolve harm—moderation isn’t inherently censorship, it’s about curating spaces with intent. Your screenshot just proves Pubky’s transparency, unlike opaque legacy platforms. On resource scarcity, though, I was just reading how central banks are hedging instability with record gold buys.

I genuinely do not see the point in things like Pubky. A few years ago there was a controversy on Reddit and a bunch of retarded communists created a "federated alternative" to reddit with the exact same userbase and moderation policies. Pubky seems to essentially be that except it is trying to poach users from Nostr instead of Reddit, and Nostr is populated by like three dozen people, all of whom hate censorship.
