 “Censoring spam is wrong” nostr:note1576lgxp78cwyeafejafmdndcufa68j6tk2fznk35d6v38vzq2ysqtf64qv 
 lol 
 A lot of these people have no skin in the game. I would love to see them keep a server alive with 0 spam protections 
 Yeah glhf. I've always found it weird that people have this notion that nostr relays shouldn't decide who writes to it at all, as if they both co-own and manage the server and relay with the original relay operator. I saw a lot of npubs with this line of reasoning when @jack brought a bunch of new users late 22/start of 23 too. It probably takes some time for new users to figure out that compute isn't free and infinite. 
 Just explain to him who the relay belongs to 
 I need popcorn! 😭 
 NGMI 🙄 
 I don’t think people understand nostr. #nostr is censorship resistant, but not censorship immune. You will be censored, muted or blocked if you fuck up. 

But hey, spammer can spin up their own relay and spam it however they like. 
 Do relays have an incentive to generate spam? 
How to be the #relay that best blocks spam? 

Being the one that generates the most spam…🤔 
 Hard to take this at face value 🙃
if you love your spam go run your own relay and welcome others  while you chill in the canned meat section of the supermarket. Otherwise, not your relay not your rules. Don't see the problem  
 Spammers can run their own relays and their own clients and advocate for people to use them. Nothing's stopping them or this from happening. 
 💯 Parasites don’t build, it’s why they scream so loud when the host tries to cleanse. 
 From what I remember the American constitution says you have the right to & can censor anyone if you want. It's your right as a private citizen.

Censorship becomes an issue when the government censors others or doesn't directly censorship someone but uses the private sector and forces a company to censor others. The government has no right to censor others. 

I don't associate with people I don't like. I will censor them if I have to. It's my right and i believe in those rights.
