MOST PEOPLE SUPPORT CENSORSHIP UNTIL IT IS USED AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE. THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE SPEECH IS AT THE PROTOCOL LEVEL. ON NOSTR NOBODY CAN BE BANNED. PERIOD. IMAGINE FADING THAT.

It's great stuff. You aren't your nostr client or relay. You are a private key. You can send your signed messaged via snail mail or paste bin.

NOSTR 💜it's the butter to Bitcoins bread 🧡 Stay free 🙏 ODELL
Such a philosophical circular mind fuck though. I can see how what you stated can easily be used for really really bad horrific things. On a side note, I have a list of people or bots I’d like to ban. How can we make that happen?
I THINK A GOOD ANALOGY IS “THOUGHT CRIMES” FROM 1984 OR “PRECRIME” FROM MINORITY REPORT. IF PEOPLE DO BAD SHIT THEY CAN BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME. AFTER THEY DO ONE.
Minority Report is such an underrated Tom Cruise Sci-fi masterpiece. Solution is the same as society. Create the city or town you want to live in & self police via calling out bad actors. Keep the bigger world small & clean your fucking room.
Many of those who classify themselves as content creators don’t really want - real freedom. If it were really their genuine interest, they would be here with us - but in their field of vision, they focus on algorithms that pay you for engagement; likes and likes, massaging the ego and even - sometimes, the pocket with Fiat.

It's not about freedom, it's about GETTING PAID! If people were making good money on Nostr, user count would be off the charts.
Users have found a fair way to monetize their efforts here, in addition to the valuable materials that are immediately contemplated with zaps, as they are written. But this takes patience, for great jumps.
Would be interesting to see a client that creates a small, basic, lightweight nostr app. Like creating a website. Creating your own nostr app through templates and hundreds of micro apps is probably nostr season 5.

yeah that’s probably right. But what’s the rule for knowing when to pull the plug?

There is a cognitive dissonance whereby the average person will say freedom of speech is necessary, but fail to realise the only speech that requires protection is that which is uncomfortable/“threatening” to hear. Therefore protocol level guarantees, as you say, are the only way forward. Like Bitcoin.
and conversely: most people support free speech until it is used by the “other” people.
