Looks like I'll be spending more time on Nostr, I'm fed up with the Fediverse. I had a post of mine removed for calmly and civilly refuting the bogus claim that the Fediverse's leftist population is somehow a diaspora caused by Christians causing "trauma" to certain groups.

I was pretty okay with my instance admin, he always seemed to be pretty relaxed and only moderate when content was genuinely against the rules, but if I'm going to be censored for choosing to argue against such a BS claim (which just further proved correct my original post about the Fediverse being full of hateful, left-leaning phonies), I don't want any part of that.

Frankly, I had been feeling that way for quite a while but that post removal was the last straw. I have my issues with a portion of Nostr's userbase as well, but at least here, I'm not surrounded by people ready to swarm me for not going along with the acceptable narrative on a platform (Mastodon) run by a guy who thinks less thought policing is a BAD thing.

Welcome to true free speech ✌🏽

Post “removed”. What does that even mean?

Removed and warned via email, saying I violated their "don't be a jerk" rule 🤷‍♂️

I was kidding

Out of curiosity, what issues with a portion of Nostr’s userbase do you have? Just trying to get perspective and understand the biases that might be in this space.

Sure thing, the main issue I have is that a portion of the population are hardcore Bitcoin maximalist cultists, and they drive me nuts because if you use anything other than Bitcoin or if you express legitimate issues that keep you from buying Bitcoin (or any coin for that matter), you tend to get attacked for your opinions. It's why I haven't been using Nostr much for a few months until this issue cropped up.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to share!
