DO NOT ASK WHY SOMEONE WAS BANNED.
ASK WHY IS IT POSSIBLE.

I literally couldn't even ban myself from nostr and I tried
You failed at banning yourself 💪🏻
THE FREEDOM TOOLS PEOPLE WILL EVENTUALLY SEEK ARE BEING BUILT QUIETLY IN THE BACKGROUND

Was someone banned already?

Was this on nostr
Be free. Use Nostr.

Why is it possible to ban someone?
I once was banned from the ABC message board for the Bachelor. Apparently having a handle of doting-grandpa and asking users who wants to sit on my lap as we go for a rocking chair ride is unacceptable.
Ask not what your country can do for you
Be free of state based repression. 🫡

You could argue that it's a violation of human rights. Freedom of speech holds for both sender and receiver. Banning the sender means that, even if you wish to punish the sender, you violate the rights of those who choose to receive.
On the other hand, individuals who wish not to hear said receiver, can already individually block the sender without violating sender's rights in the process.
"But nobody uses nostr" "nostr is a bubble"
You are apparently using it?! But, true, not widely adopted.

Well on nostr i think notes can be removed but people can backup notes of somones feed to there private relay and rebroadcast it later.
who can remove notes?

It should always be possible for me personally to block someone.
But not for someone to block it for EVERYONE
Decentralized platforms like Nostr can't truly ban anyone, they can only try to hide the content, because once information is published, it's essentially impossible to completely erase it from the internet.
Actual freedom of speech without freedom of reach
Great power, great responsibility. This is both the strength and the weakness of decentralization. Once information is published, it's impossible to erase it completely, and that's the way it is, no other way.
This is considered true for anything that is public on the internet. Especially when the internet archive was in its prime scanning and copying everything it could find on the public web.
The key difference here is that the content is signed. We see screenshots of tweets and archived copies of content, but how can we ever know that the data/screenshots are genuine and undoctored? We must trust that the copies are genuine and that the re-publishers are honest and unwavering in the face of pressures to doctor their data.
With Nostr, all content is signed. As long as we know a person's npub, we can always verify copies of nostr content and prove that it is data created by our person of interest.
This means that if someone wants to twist our words, run a smear campaign, or wants to hide their words by denying their own content, as long as we can find copies of the original content, we can know what is real and what is not.
I am definitely on this train BUT since joining nostr I've got DM's from "Jimmy Song" and "Jack" and at least on primal you can report for impersonation. Granted that's not a true ban or report but I feel like there's a little too much space for these scammers. I don't know what we do about it other than telling them to get fucked.
