I like the idea that freedom of speech is a critical buffer to violence
Ie you need to let everyone say what they want or risk making them so angry they fight
But when you apply this to content creation & where to post your work, it’s hard
- do you post only on Nostr, a place you know cannot be censored (a true expression of freedom of speech)
- do you post everywhere, including places you know might cancel you in the future (better reach potential but fraudulent)
It’s like the idea of “posting on Facebook means nothing, I am just having fun, I am not a criminal so what do I have to hide…”
You’re action and attention is inadvertently feeding a machine that by its definition has to “censor” speech
Ethics at play…
