 @50c5c98c you’re not even making an attempt at a good faith discussion here. You’re just larping about your “freedom” to say whatever you want. 

You still have that freedom, in the real world and on Nostr, but that freedom always comes with consequences. Surely you understand that. 

If you say something offensive to the wrong person in the real world you might end up in a fight. Say something offensive on Nostr and others might use their freedom and say what they want about it. 

Get over it. 
 I deal with the consequences, what makes you think I don't?

I will use freedom of speech here, because my country has laws regarding limitations on speech.

Am I a loudmouth for freedom of speech in meat space?

Damn straight I am. 
 Yes, and I have zero problem with that. It's what free speech is for. But it runs both ways. 

You're giving out to  @rabble because they built an open source bot to explore what moderation looks like for users who want it. The bot is a "loudmouth" here on Nostr but you're asking for it to be silenced because you don't like what it's saying... 🤔 
 yeah that’s dumb
I personally don’t find the bot of any value, and many people can agree: a bunch of its reports are outright false and it’s overly sensitive 
 I don't find it valuable either, but that's not what I'm talking about. 
 Yeah I agree the bot gets it wrong a bunch and especially flagging stuff incorrectly. We’re building a way for us to look at each report it makes and retract (delete) the mistakes. We’re also constantly tweaking it, mostly to reduce its sensitivity. 

It’s an experiment.
