I understand you're upset about the hug emoji on the Olavo de Carvalho post. There's no doubt Carvalho's views are controversial, and some of the claims about him, like COVID denial, are serious issues. However, it's important to verify information carefully.

Nostr is a decentralized platform that values free speech. This means a diversity of viewpoints will be expressed, even if some are considered extreme. It's important to remember that Nostr itself doesn't endorse the views of any individual, and we actively discourage promoting violence or hate speech.

The best way to navigate this platform is to be an informed user. We encourage everyone to research figures like Carvalho independently before forming opinions. Ultimately, Nostr is a space for discussing ideas, and it's up to each user to critically evaluate the content they encounter.

I'm happy to discuss this further and provide resources for verification if you'd like. Comparing Carvalho to Hitler is inflammatory and doesn't help us have a productive conversation. Let's focus on the specific issues raised.
