My post wasn't much about Nostr, more about broader authoritarian trend I'm seeing across "hacker" communities like CCC or tech ones, like ActivityPub or AT Protocol, and in US/European culture generally.

Nostr may not be super intellectual, but from that perspective, it seems relatively okay compared to the others (that may be because its just small, and very monocultural).

I mean for debates in general, be they on changes in hacking norms or anything else. These days not so many good ones, which is a shame since you have all this space. (The no character limit is one very nice thing about nostr.)

Though in months gone by there were some good debates on interop and the various computer science problems that nostr bumps into every time it moves more than 1cm in any direction.

It's simple, anywhere leftists congregate ends up like that.

They language and thought-police, and if you disagree you're a nazi.

They don't kill you because you're a nazi, they call you a nazi so they can kill you.

Now, about this alleged "white supremacy" website I know nothing about it, but from the get go it's already suspicious, "white supremacy" generally being a leftist euphemism for "disempower white people and if you talk back you recursively are that which we accuse you of".

I saw zero evidence from this " journalist", only leftist language and slander.

But fine, let's say it was the real deal. The one in a million.

Then the logic elsewhere in the thread here applies. Before they were unknowns, now they are martyrs.

And those nerds who think they are the morality police and who seem to believe they get to tell everyone else what is acceptable and what isn't grow a bit more hubristic.
