Iām not cancelling anyone. They are free to post. Iām blocking them from my view because itās low frequency and not everyone deserves my attention.

Muting or blocking accounts is not censorship. As an individual, you are free to choose who deserves your attention. I don't understand how people conflate the two concepts. Free speech includes the freedom of association and the freedom to mute and unmute whomever you choose.
If relays starts to block specific users, then you agree it's censorship?
You are moving the goal post just so you can be right on something.
Relays blocking specific users is censorship. However the effect is moot since thereās almost 1000 relays. Me blocking some users whose content I find despicable is not censorship.
Your other post about Jews makes no sense to me. Their religion, if any, and their ways are foreign to me and Iām not interested in learning about that either.
The effect is not moot if all the big relays does it and refuse to write/store notes from specific users.
This would be censorship and Nostr would have zero value.
Muting and blocking are censorship. Just because audience and censor are one and the same doesn't make it not censorship. Censoring stuff for yourself doesn't magically become not censorship.
Freedom of association does not exist and is directly contrary to other freedoms that do.

If everyone else on the network does the same, or just a majority, then in effect you are cancelling them, and they are not free to post. Your individual actions are iterative with the individual actions of others and have communal effects. Read Kant, retard.
