The demise of free speech on centralized platforms (if it was ever there) is a loss, nostr notwithstanding.
I’m not cheering for this loss for a couple of reasons.
1. X is an interface, a battleground. The battle is somewhat visible and useful as an indicator of sentiment.
2. I don’t think centralized platforms will cease to operate and have influence. I think people with large audiences on X should continue to support that ecosystem and their audiences, ideally with parallel efforts on nostr. This provides information continuity in both spaces and these people can serve as trusted ambassadors providing a conduit to decentralized platforms.
I hope X and nostr users don’t lash out. Better to stay humble, tweet tweets and relay messages.
