Who is going to step in though at the point someone is intentionally inciting harm to others, or propagating hate and oppression to extreme levels?? Like Hitler with the Holocaust etc….I am all for freedoms and allowing people to express themselves when they are subject to an unjust regime, but there still needs to be more thought and accountability for some things and not just wringing hands, sitting on the fence and letting everything awful happen…what about, and it sounds weird but allowing people to vote to have a post removed?? Don’t know if I have been removed from a relay here but think what hypocritical garbage if that’s the case, for what hahaha??? I also wholeheartedly agree that this platform needs to be able to delete items yourself. Seems nonsensical to remove that freedom from an individual
Otherwise and as much as I like nostr, there still is potential for it to become a whole lot more sinister. Imagine people posting personal info hacked etc, pics of your children etc and doxxing people…things even Mr ‘Free Not so Free Speech’ Elon himself wants to shut down…you need the ability to remove posts
Screenshots make this effectively impossible
There are some sites which attempt to prevent screenshots, eg onlyfans etc… couldnt something be implemented where a user could amend settings to prevent screenshots on their own posts..?
Seems I once read about screenshots “cut and paste if you nasty “.
Yeah delete is required, as well as edit.
Uhh this is a normie social network,
I'm not going to drop red pills here
Haha it's just that I'm not going to drop them (red pills) here
Ugh I know I'm sorry, it's that, I'm just not going to drop them, is all
You can mute folks - it is totally up to you. That ends up being a very powerful vote IMHO.
For the rest of it: I love the quote (which I will paraphrase) that free speech is awful but censorship is even worse.
Relays - I personally need to study them more. I'm pretty sure that each relay has the option of censoring as it wishes; the power of nostr is that you can use multiple relays and even host your own.
Doesn’t this problem sit outside of the scope of social media? I see no reason why it should be or could be solved by a single company or institution. Like how in real life, people say bad things and do bad things. We don’t seem to have solved that problem either (the police force are imperfect of course)
