Oddbean new post about login | logout We're going to see a lot more political talk here on Nostr over the next week or even throughout the rest of this election year. And that's okay! We have the freedom to discuss without worry of censorship. Nostr is open and permissionless. Nothing else can compare here.
It'll be interesting to see relays start filtering certain notes.
I would be shocked if that happens, but anything can happen since anything and everything can be tried on an open protocol.
Just gives me a pretty good relay idea. One that only stores and filters based on a political whitelist of words that include both parties and is meant to be purely political with no censorship. So the relay would whitelist, Trump, Republican, Democrat, Biden, Harris, etc and the wordlist public and open source.
That's an interesting idea.
For the first time Nostr keeps me informed before Twitter. The only problem is that many do not put the source of the news.
Linking to Twitter is a bad practice too. Source is best.
I don't need anyone's permission I say what I want That's what muting is for
And you have that freedom here 🥹
Totally get ya, but do you think Alex Jones is right about Hilary running? Trying to bet appropriately 😅
I dunno. I don't like either of them and wouldn't trust anything either says.
I would say no. The Democrats will most likely all gather around one candidate and support them so they can show unity at the DNC. I would love to see an open floor debate with multiple candidates but unfortunately it would be spun that the Democrats are infighting or they are not united.
