I don’t need reminding of what censorship is or what little it has anything to do it’s what you’re implying it is. It’s an insane notion that you’re claiming censorship in my eyes.
I say within their reasoning because it’s within their app. It didn’t impact anything within Nostr, just their app (Correct me if I’m wrong if they were manipulating posts as a relay operator). Your nsec is your data is your experience. I don’t like it so I don’t use the app - it’s that simple in my eyes. I don’t have to be complicit because it’s not my app, it’s my nsec. If someone wants to make a Nostr app that ruins the way any one person believes Nostr should be viewed or read, so be it. That’s a strength of Nostr. This stuff happening now in Nostr’s infancy is all the better to help flesh out bad practices and how Nostr software can be adapted to address them - because there absolutely will be worse offenders. Trending feeds or some other company doing custodial keys is nothing compared to what’s to come and you and the Miljan guy are going to be more comparatively aligned the more Nostr grows.
Why didn’t their users know? Great question, get down from your soapbox and talk to the guy outside of text-based comms and ask him. It’s his app. My guess is he’s not legally obligated to.
Lastly, yes I am constantly amazed that anyone would be surprised Twitter works any differently or should have to - it’s their app.
