I self censor quite a lot. Sometimes because I am not certain what I was about to say was correct and other times because what I was about to say was unproductive.
The commonly accepted overton window definitely plays a roll in both assessments.
Discussion
Now this window doesn’t need to define conversations or convention as much. There is a possibility of doing something new, having real, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations outside of that window.
That's nearly the entire reason I am on nostr tbh, but I don't necessarily want to be the first one to cause an uproar.
One of the main things that makes X popular is the controversy, but nostr isn't ready for that kind of heat just yet.
For now I'm just waiting, watching, and noticing what comes up.
