I get that. And one part of me likes it.

The other part thinks, “no, my posts are my data. I should be able to revoke access to my data at will.”

This gets into whether notes are a matter of “public record” or freely shared data.

If it’s on the internet, it can be repeated, copied, screenshotted - a million ways to reproduce. But to prove whether or not you wrote something - should that belong to you or everyone?

It feels very much like using nostr is then submitting to the whims of the crowd and whatever groupthink du jour is occurring.

This is a terrifying thought, and I’m not a scammer. This creates a security risk and incentivizes wiser people to not contribute on nostr - as they lose control - without extreme measures of anonymity being taken. Nakmoto levels.

Is this the way we want to create community? With fear? There is the idea of merit - which again, a part of me loves. But the finality of the access to a note takes it to an extreme.

I’m pretty conflicted.
