 Seems like the nostr crowd is okay with censoring CP. I don't really give a shit, but gotta point out that it's hypocritical to talk freedom when there are clear exceptions.  
 No one likes nonces… (UK meaning, not BTC).

A lot of ‘freedom’ is a larp.. It’s a nice concept but it doesn’t line up with reality. If it was deep I think there would be another US revolution, after all that’s why loads of people have guns.

America is a violent empire. Most folks don’t care, so long as the people being killed by the US gov are thousands of miles away. 
 I thought a nonce meant someone who fucks teenies. Not a casual loli enjoyer like a big chunk of fedi. 

What makes you think US will have a revolution? No signs IMO. And was there a revolution before? The country's been fairly cohesive aside from the civil war.  
 Sorry should have said civil war… Lolita is typically used to describe underage girls. If someone’s ‘casually’ enjoying pics of underage girls then abuse is happening somewhere so I don’t see it as casual. Nonce enabler is perhaps a better way to describe.

I don’t interact with the loli fans on Fedi, I think it’s odd.

Most people have some sort of moral hierarchy, with even the most libertine often drawing a line at child sexual abuse.

I don’t fall into that camp. If people want to censor CP I’m happy about it because I don’t want to see it.

But I’m in Europe’s where we’re massively into communism anyway. 
 Looking at pics is abuse? No one's being harmed. In fact, it will likely provide a relief for the desire, so they won't have to go after lolis IRL. 

I'm against censorship of any kind. No exceptions. Filter and coexist.  
 If the picture is created from an abusive process, it’s creating demand for abuse to take place. Therefore…

I appreciate your point of view but I don’t share it. 
 Understandable. This argument was used by various anti-porn organizations in the past. Obviously preaching and spreading awareness did about nothing to stop porn on the internet. The desire to have an orgasm neglects any potential abuse porn stars could have endured. Even if they succeeded, the black market would spring up in no time. You simply cannot stop it. 

Therefore it is not worth undermining the principle of no censorship.  
 I think there’s a difference between the decisions a 14 year old might make vs an adult. Coercion is a real thing, especially when talking about minors.

We’re talking about child porn, not run of the mill porn with adults. They are not the same. 
 I think a #mainvolume issued license is required to think. I think I am European, Swedish in fact. I think I am created by Sina for mainvolume.com

 It's just files. Nostr is designed for making it difficult to stop distribution.  
 Could be an interesting wake up call if time lines are full of it.

I’m not a libertine so I don’t have to do the mental gymnastics to justify censoring it.

If it becomes an uncontrollable problem I’ll just go elsewhere. 
 You're in the majority on this topic, so no need to talk about it further. 

Are you okay with drug trade on Nostr?  
 It’s not relevant to my interests. 
 have you considered that you’re retarded? even in a completely free, anarchic society you still have moral principles that are overwhelming shared. 
you can expect that to be reflected within a public square- just like how someone might come up to you and push you off your soapbox. 

this is how freedom is expresses itself in reality. with freedom you are preventing some arbitrary group having control over you, but individuals will do what they do. 
 I am retarded.

This is a good test for censorship resistance. It's reasonable to demand trigger warnings, but no removal.  
 no it’s not, you should not expect relays run by individuals to relay everything 
 What if it's a paid relay? 
 the principle is the same. you should at-least find out what you’re paying for before you buy something https://nostr.wine/terms 
 Sure, but a Tor only relay can broadcast whatever as long as the users pay. Permissionless, my nigga 
 yes that’s the core idea behind nostr. it’s not hypocritical.
