why would anyone expect not to be cancelled from a liberal platform?

nostr fixes this

The writer explains why he was cancelled in he opening paragraph. Weird choice of header!

💯 that’s why nostr fixes this. you can’t permanently ban someone using a protocol

And I appreciate the freedom. As long as people who abuse freedoms can be contained, I’m all for it.

What would you consider abuse of freedoms, and how would you contain such people?

People who spread lies about other people can have negative impact on them and it constitutes abuse of freedom to me.

For example, the 🍊 face man baby said the presidential candidate was not a US Citizen without proof. Those tweets should have been removed every time until he could prove otherwise.

Do you agree?

Are you referring to Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate, or Barack Obama?

BO.

That Trunk turd saying BO was not US born gave him too much free exposure. Similarly with every other lie he’s said.

It’s the “freedom of speech” part I don’t ride with and I wish it was different in the air waves!

Ok. I had heard an argument made (not by Trump) that even Kamala Harris was not qualified to be president because neither of her parents were U.S. citizens when she was born.

But anyway you don't ride with the freedom of speech" part?! 👀 True colors shining through?

If someone is lying on someone, like if Trump were lying about Obama's birthplace, then Obama could sue him for defamation, like Trump did to ABC News, and won, after they settled. Let the truth come out in court, with discovery and testimony, etc.

My is that by that time the average, and some not too bright, people have made assumptions and taken sides.

Yes, lawyers love lawsuits. It’s how they make most money probably. Not necessarily a good thing for freedoms of any kind.

I am up for freedom of speech but somebody needs to monitor the abuses.

All I’m saying.

Did you help create it? I’m confused

What is this bluesky? Seems like a shitcoin with their buzzword false advertising

No complaints about bluesky. Pretty rational thus far!

All centrally controlled by a US company and you don't see the problem? Ok boomer

That article painted such a beautiful portrait of BlueSky users 😂 I'm glad to be part of Nostr.

They be angry over there

So, BlueSky has your name and email, has a moderation team that decides if the content of your posts is admissible, and it can switch on and off your account at will.

But lots of people jumped there because it's open and decentralized.

At least he is back.

Redsky

Everyone will eventually get censorship-resistance at the price (measured in time) they deserve.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m saw the writing on the wall & is a genius for jumping ship when he did. 🤝

I honestly don't see how Web 2.0 survives #Nostr.

I bet if he had posted an article arguing for the abolishment of the age of consent because it’s bourgeois, like the french cultural elite tried to do in the 70s, he would have gotten nothing but praises…

Seems oddly specific. They banned me when I simply know age of consent statutes are retarded

I may register and see if they can break the "2 minute and I'm cancelled" record I have with Mastodon.

Bluecry

Amazon did the same thing to my seller account. I was so stoked to be on the platform... started doing YouTube product reviews, rented multiple storage sheds, quit my "engineering job" to keep up with orders and source new products... then the notice of account closure happened. No explanation. They still send me emails from time to time saying I still have some things in FBA storage???

No more corporate trust! Corporatism is just communism in disguise! Some unaccountable stooge will shut your life down with the click of a button and NO explanation! Not even middle or upper management will know or even care. There are migratory armies of these goons that infiltrate corporate capitalism on a daily basis, just looking to make trouble.

Dissolve the corporations, first in your mind, then in your independent actions on uncensorable platforms like bitcoin, nostr, etc...

Sorry this happened to you!

A couple questions:

-Did you by any chance start with Legal Counsel before you started your business or Corporation?

-What specific legal term did you break?

Who should i ask to darken my counsel? I asked. They wouldn't tell me. Years later, i ran across a podcast called SilentJim and one of his guests dropped some nuggets and i think i understand a reasoning i was not notified of.

I don't know and don't care now. There are going to be better platforms than corporate cancel counsels like amazon or any "legal" "counsel".

You assume too much! Perhaps no legal terms were "broken". This is a game and I'm not playing around any more.

Hope things work out for you!

It’s rough out there!

✌🏼

Thanks for spamming a fucking mainstream media link jack but I have posts about being banned by Bluesky you could repost if you ever feel like boosting signal instead of noise

Same for everyone liking this fucking retarded post

"oh no I got banned from Bluesky let me get published in a mainstream media source about it" glowie ass bitch

New boss same as old boss eh 😂

Bluesky is the social media equivalent of self-flagellation. It's a great place for people, who seeking the strictest purity test, can then enjoy the public flogging they secretly desire when they inevitably fail.

It isn't. I've been on both

Google ai seems to think you recommend bluesky btw

That’s because Google AI *is* retarded.

the differences between bluesky and nostr are clearer than ever. i commented on this article yesterday on Bluesky, inviting them to nostr.

We all had the unpleasant experience of coning across some people that we feel that should be banned. That they had no place speaking in any public forum. And maybe we were even right.

The problem is that if you give someone the power to ban people for the right reasons, you also give them the power to ban people for the wrong reasons

how do the algo’s control extremists from gaining bandwidth? Someone has to regulate somehow… no?

Why not let the individual to decide what he would see?

If the algo gives

power to the people, then I will forever support that algo !!!

Why do you need an Algo?

Just give people the ability to choose.

I am assuming they are needed to bring a bit more visibility to those loading nice content that otherwise wouldn’t get exposure.

So the individual user should have an opt in to a "filter/aggregator"

How the individual can be protected from harassment when he posts something? On X we can see people being insulted all the time. People are leaving X to Bluesky because they feel finally secured.

Would be interesting to hear what nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqc267ea says to the story.

JRE needs to bring you back on to dig into all of this. So much meat on the social media bone rn

The difference between nostr and bluesky is the difference between "can't" and "won't".

I am certainly sorry that your position is so substitutive for Eron's. But asking me to save bitcoin when I have no money is quite a challenge for me. The rest of the time I assume you are just like them because you run away from the conversation. So far all of them are scams. I don't know what to believe.

nostr:nevent1qqsrvkkvwukjhn3e949cuwj2ynhm8aadsdgaakj2z8z62pmzeg4dtyqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygyzxs0cs2mw40xjhfl3a7g24ktpeur54u2mnm6y5z0e6250h7lx5gpsgqqqqqqsg8nvus

Sorry.

"At last check, my post elicited more than 2,100 quote-posts and some 3,700 responses"

a blusky post can generate this huge number of interactions? impressive btw.

so many news stories talk about why Jack left the board of Bluesky PBLLC

but they never comment that the architect of AtProto who based the protocol on his PhD thesis work left the company

WHY Jaron Lanier left bluesky?

will onboard him on #Nostr

💥💥💥

#freedom & transparency is a marketing $tratergy 2 $ell their $hit.

Why is bluesky being promoted so intensely by the maintstream media and yet nostr is never mentioned. (This is actually a rhetorical question, but it still annoys me each time I see such an article)
