This! Nostr’s freedom is for resisting tyranny and creating a commons that isn’t owned by a corporation or government. It’s freedom to control our own public spheres. Freedom to set norms that make sense to different communities who have different standards. It is not freedom so that you can be an asshole where you impose harassment on people. You’ve got the right to speech but nobody has the obligation to listen to you, display your content in their clients, host your content on relays, or quietly leave your content unlabeled/reported.

Here's a hard pill to swallow...

#Nostr is not just a social media platform to replace [insert centralized SM here] because your bigotry and anti-woke ideas will be censored... your conservative bullshit thoughts are the last thing we need to concern ourselves with protecting.

Decentralized protocols are built so that people in oppressed governments can communicate freely, so your basic Google research of homosexual porn is not saved on some server that will later come back to haunt your homophobic public self.

Decentralized protocols, privacy, censorship-resistant tools are here to aid our data, our freedom of choice, to give a voice back to all of those who have been unjustly oppressed. If all you do is sit all day, shitposting stupid comments on how you are the better bitcoiner or nostrich because you run your own node, have never been KYCed, and throw hate at whatever tools and makeshift efforts others are using to try and build a future, you are not a better human, you are part of the problem, you are just loud, creating division and hate.

FOSS is for everyone, and it should be used in the ways people can with the tools they have. Nothing infuriates me more than people so blinded by their own privilege that they can't understand that those who need the tools the most can't use them as easily as they can because of LIFE AND REASONS!
