I don't know why people want what they want. Personally I don't need to agree with what people want or stand in their way of doing what they want. However, (in)actions do have consequences. Always. What people do with the freedom they have is between them and their god to be judged upon their actions. I may have an opinion, but I won't choose to stand in the way of people's freedom based on the assumption they will misuse that freedom because they have the chance to choose to do wrong things. The concusion that I therefore want bad things is just narrowminded, but also understandably typical of the times we live in with people being set up against each other. Again, put your theory to the test and apply it to another protocol and see how good things go when you start to deny people freedom because you assume they will use it for bad things. See how well that goes for TCP/IP or Tor or Nostr.

Spam filters are omnipresent on the internet including Nostr. Your email has spam filters. High risk websites get filtered from your browser. Nostr relays can decide what to include or not include. Nostr users can mute other users they don’t wish to see. Bitcoin has always had filters as well. It wasn’t until Core v30 got released that the gates to vast spam were opened. By doing nothing, you are tacitly agreeing to this spam. You are free to succumb to defeatism, but don’t act like it is some noble deed. My node is not your Dropbox. I will disallow the content that is negative for Bitcoin as a monetary network as I see fit. You can keep transmitting the most repugnant imagery if you like. The choice is yours.

This is factually incorrect. Most of the spam came through ordinals which don't use op_return. You are real person, do better.
