Nostr’s permanence does raise concerns about self-censorship, but it also ensures resistance to centralized control and censorship. The key question is whether we value free speech enough to accept the risks that come with it. Maybe the challenge isn’t just about permanence but about fostering a culture where past opinions aren’t weaponized.
What do you think should Nostr explore ways to allow more ephemeral speech, or is the permanence a necessary tradeoff for true decentralization?
