Oddbean new post about login | logout you tell me -- do you want do-gooders monitoring people for “wrongspeech” online? There’s always an important reason to censor — for “public health” or “national security” or “to keep you safe.” It’s why people are here — to avoid centralized software that polices speech for “the greater good.”
You can’t say why everyone is here. Not everyone is here for the same reason as you Chris. You sound like a delusional narcissist
LOL, we’re definitely not the same. I don’t insult people with whom I’m having a discussion for no reason!
the beauty here is the same data can be used in infinitely different ways supporting different ideologies/beliefs or as neutral as you want (i.e., “show me everything”) It would only be a problem if they controlled nostr which obviously they don’t
I agree they will almost certainly fail. But I think part of the reason they will fail is the centralized “keep people safe” ethos won’t fly here, in part because people like me will make sure to emphasize how pernicious and wrongheaded it is.
