Oddbean new post about login | logout It seems a certain user quit nostr. People seem to be suggesting certain words should not be allowed to be posted or shouldnt be posted to not offend this user. Some suggest to mute someone if we dont like them, which makes sense. Its weird seeing old nostr users call for censorship instead of muting someone.
Very weird indeed. I tell people i am muting them. Mostly for being sheep or shills
Name names or it didn’t happen.
Thats not true lol. Isnt it obvious who though? Lots of talk on nostr this morning about this.
To me, Nostr has always been about censorship resistance THROUGH optionality and robust user control That means users should be able to choose their clients, relays, and feed mechanics There is a user control problem here if people are deleting their accounts because they feel harassed
Right. We have control over the censorship through muting and relay selection. We are our own censors. Cool!
Yes, it’s very cool! However, I think we need more market solutions to this problem as well. This network was always going to bifurcate into loosely connected forks, and it seems like there are a lot of people who are demanding cleaner feeds with less incel shit. Someone should spin up a “heavy censorship” relay and allow it to compete with other relays.
I agree. I would love a "clean relay". I avoid global because I dont trust its not filled with disgusting garbage.
