I don’t see why it’s necessary to bring up your political leanings or sexuality, why does that matter? Other than opening yourself up to attack by assholes and trolls. I grew up on the internet. I’m 35 now, I have spent over 20 years here. I quickly learned that if you put out anything that trolls can latch onto, where they know it will get you, they will do so. This is a universal fact about humanity when it comes to posting online, especially anonymously. No tech solution can fix it. The best thing you can do is ignore them, if they can’t get a rise out of you they don’t get their dopamine.
Sure you can surround yourself with people who aren’t like that and try to heavily moderate, but it doesn’t make this basic fact go away.
They are not just harmless "trolls", they are haters, they are transphobic, they are gender fascists. I have even seen neo-Nazi profiles here, always duly hidden behind an anonymous profile, like this one, for example:

But that's okay, if you want to keep thinking that Nostr is a wonderland, go ahead! Good luck with your denialism!
You should not forward that trash and instead mute it. Personal responsibility takes the place of centralized authority here.
On any social network, you can mute whoever you want. This is not exclusive to Nostr.
What's the point of silencing someone if they create a new NPUB with each "block"? lol
That would need to be dealt with like any other kind of spam
this guy is a troll. just ignore him and he goes away.
Faz parte do fascismo (o qual você pertence) tentar desqualificar e tratar como "troll", "petista" ou "comunista" todos aqueles que pensam diferente, todos aqueles que se opõe às suas ideias.
Qualquer pessoa com o mínimo de discernimento consegue perceber claramente que não há nenhum "troll" do lado de cá. A base argumentativa fala por si só.
A desqualificação (como "troll") e o silenciar da oposição são estratégias bastante conhecidas do fascismo. Mude a velha "retórica".
Calling a spade a spade is fascism now.
facts are fascist! don't believe in facts!
Why do "guys dressed as girls" bother you so much? Is your masculinity really that fragile? LOL
I think it’s temperamental. In the mind of the bleeding heart activist type — high in trait neuroticism and agreeableness but low in industriousness — social compliance is the highest order bit. Curiosity or experimentation, ‘truth’, is subordinated to conformity. That’s faux compassion. Faux compassionate positions that sound enlightened, but utterly antisocial behaviour. The great irony of the Progressives. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Tenzi called you a fascist but Tenzi is a petty reincarnation of Gleichschaltung.
he's not. he's just a troll that wants attention on the internet. you'll see him sending agressive and unwanted responses to anyone on any subject at all, just for the sake of it. He never initiates a conversation, always inserts himself in other people's conversations for the sake of derailing it. he's just a troll, nothing more.
he might be, but I’m not completely sure. I skimmed through his profile and he seems to talk about a few different topics and really lobbies for DEI culture. I know people who are very much sincere and behave in the same way online.
Troll or not, it's always good to have some common sense and willingness for self-reflection #imho
Agreed.
Bad manners bring bad reactions. I believe him when he says he gets a lot of ‘hate’ — if you have a chip on your shoulder, everyone you speak to frowns.
You nailed it. And to add...manners (how we act) is the result of how we feel, and how we feel is the result of beliefs (our blueprint)...
The matrix is our unconsciousness, it's us (collective unconscious) not having an awareness of what and how we are doing stuff really.
And what's underneath manners, emotions, beliefs...is an entire other topic lol.
I am not an activist, neither left nor right. Neither reactionary nor progressive. But disqualifying and silencing opposition ideas is part of the fascism to which you belong.
There’s very little daylight between the political Left and social constructionists. Claims that gender is a societal fabrication, that dissidents of that perspective are only furthering their own arbitrary power, the belief that compliance with dictats from identity groups is mandatory etc — these are all postmodern ideas that have entirely consumed Classical Liberalism as the philosophical foundation of the Left.
You say you’re not on the Left but it’s a moot point in a way since your belligerent constructionist ideas are effectively synonymous with the Left.
