 nostr:npub1murdy8k20svu38g9f9jt9k0rqkjzt677x3qrev88je4gw2erqk8scwcnel the thing is I think we need more controls. Ideally Nostr clients wouldn’t display content as replies from people they muttered and reported. I know this is a controversial position, but the way I see it being a reply guy in my threads is like coming in to my personal space when I don’t want it. Just like we can kick out a rude houseguest, they aren’t banished from the town, just my small part of it. 

I want nostr to be a space for queer Palestinian drag queens like nostr:npub1lq9lx5mh2m3pvdnckcta7h7h07qexa3gxvyakdzt73lqp3prt3jqx9pa2e  who are being shadow banned and deplatformed by Meta and Instagram. I want nostr to be a space for activists who face state surveillance and repression. 

And I’m fine with there being people on nostr who hate me, so long as I don’t have listen to them or have them inject themselves in to my content and conversations.
