Still reading (third way through) but I was thinking about this earlier today, the difference between freedom of speech vs the protection of activism. There is this fine line and definitely social context is at play when it comes to the protocol and the needs. After watching the debate of deleting notes and why it should or should not happen. I don't think people understand how important it is to protect the people saying the words or self-sovereignty. You forcing me to stay in "your system" is kind of the same as what these mega platforms do. No? I think having something like TxtMob - in a sense - as a feature of Nostr is ideal for spreading something important that is needed to be said, but also have the features where a person can protect themselves. I understand Nos is doing this, so I am not including your client in this, but this is what I am curious about. You want to say whatever you want to say, fine. Free speech, but you also should understand we are not all comfortable expressing something that may end up hurting us. Also I know this is not really relevant to this discussion, but it's in my head and this article reminded me of this thought I had at work earlier today. This also may be ramblings because I am tired. Is free speech to some on nostr, just that, free speech. They just want to say whatever. Or is free speech about bringing the truth to the front? You know, anyways, thank you for the article, i will read more later. I enjoyed it so far.
