Seems to be a lot of deplatfoming going on, especially towards people that already fully understand the need for decentralization, despite coming from backgrounds and countries where they haven’t necessarily experienced censorship before, or at least to the same extent as others.

What those with the power to deplatform fail to realize is cypherphunks can, will, and have been building the alternate technologies needed to prevent this from happening. This wave of targeting will only strengthen the motivations of the builders and accelerate the inevitable.

Speaking from personal experience, I don’t think I’ve ever really been censored or deplatformed before, but after Bitcoin Bytes was repeatedly kicked off mailing list providers (thanks everyone for the suggestions, we are working on alternatives), I knew firsthand what it felt like.

And this is such a trivial example! Censored for educational Bitcoin content, not even stuff that covers economics and could be twisted into appearing politically relevant, just “boring” technical stuff like BIPs and the parts of Taproot.

Collectively we’re turning these infusions of initial rage into productive energy for building tools and platforms that allow you to become self sovereign and take control of your own destiny.
