That (censoring) is happening at the client level. Personally I have no expectations for all clients to be censorship resistant. All that matters is the protocol is censorship resistant for the all encompassing clients (w/o censorship) to build atop #nostr
Sure, but also we have an obligation to speak out against clients who’s values don’t align with the principles of anti-censorship

I dont know about being obligated, but the right and ability to point it out without being censored is there. #bitcoin and #nostr are for our “enemies” too. Comes with open-source territory.
Still sounds like an opt-in user option to me. Anyone can use nostr, build on it, and choose to use tools like that even if you or I disagree with it. I’d have to do more research and look into it, I haven’t yet. But I probably wouldn’t use it or feel the need to. Mute or unfollow is good enough for me for the time being
This is an issue wannabe content moderators shouldn't take lightly. I find it ironic that those on the left will do everything possible to avoid incorrectly labelling someone's immutible and irrelevant physical characteristics. However, when it comes to labelling someone's intentions, character, or soul - the characteristics of actual importance - suddenly their actions suggest "fuck the mislabeled". We should call out this behavior loudly and often. @rabble your bot is broken at best, malicious at worse. Nostr, you shouldn't use these features or nos until they correct this functionality and explain themselves. That all being said, horrible client side content moderation isn't really an attack on nostr. It's only an attack on that client's user base.

From all the cultural elements you could have copied from liberals, you seriously choose to copy cancel culture. The irony 😅 Anyway, 🍻
This is not something about being right or wrong. Or white or black. Or left or right. Or winning or losing. Etc. Nostr is && not !==
I’m not cancelling anyone. I’m just letting people know what’s up with that client. It’s free to continue operating and being terrible
