Mr. Odell is not wrong.
Though, let's be real the tides turn and the minority end up influencing the outcome for the majority.
We live in a world filled with distractions. People can't even agree on what washrooms to go in.
Nostr will become mainstream, it's not a matter of if, but when.
It's not just about free speech, it's also about truth. As long as there is censorship, important truth can, and will, be hidden from the masses.
If you don’t have free speech, you have nothing.
Good point, especially the second sentence. That’s very true for many. Confirmation bias kind of.
Strong agree.
Stay Humble. Focus on the few. The few will change the world.
WHO FARTED?
Freedom is the most important right of all. It comes with distasteful elements. Freedom of speech means you will hear things you don't want to. It seems to me, the younger generations (I'm a very old Gen X) have never had to face opposition. Non competitive sports at school, not having to learn how to deal with insults because no one is allowed to offend anyone!
Fucking grow a pair, stop living in an echo chamber and get dirty in the mud of life.
FREEDOM

Yeah but businesses have the right not to go out of business, and free speech is, by and large, very bad for business. It's extremely hard to be in favour of the right of individuals to near-total free speech in commercial domains and also the right of businesses to make a profit. You can be in favour of near-total free speech in a charity/NGO/expensively-manifested-thought-experiment domain, that's cool.
Personally I think the goal is to get close enough that it would cost more to censor that very dregs of speech than it would to allow it. To decrease the bar for people to host their own speech, and more importantly, for people to find it.
Fair but I think it almost never costs more to censor than to allow. Humans like to be in spaces that other humans, either implicitly or explicitly, aren't allowed to enter. We'll gladly pay for that. And most humans also don't like labour, including the labour of having to create and maintain such spaces themselves (those that do are outliers). Humans love to outsource. Therefore, for an online business, setting rules drives revenue, and even if it costs more in absolute terms to censor this or that, those costs are offset by the gains in revenue from people willing to outsource the labour of curation.
You are exactly correct. The profitability of a platform is determined entirely by human choice. And one thing that can be counted on is that humans will choose platforms with prejudicial content filtering.
A person can already host their own speech through individual effort alone. Similarly, indexing and filtering internet content can already be done through sole individual effort of those who would listen to that speech. In a way, we have perfect free speech on the modern internet already, even without needing to build new infrastructure.
You can hardly be said to have a platform in the first place unless you some form of tyrannical filtering, in addition to hosting and sharing user content. My argument is that these services need not be mandatory. In fact, they SHOULD not be mandatory. I believe that given the importance of user choice, in a well designed platform, the tools to achieve cheap and perfect free speech would already be built in by default. I believe that to have a platform that does not at least have the option of allowing users to post or view any content is either putting in extra unnecessary effort in order to artificially block some uses of the platform, or the platform is ALREADY shooting themselves in the foot by not respecting user choice as much as it could be.
Ugh, free speech has never been a meaningful idea. It's always "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But I don't consider that to be speech." Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not freedom from state consequences!" Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not in people's freedom to listen to it."
Unless your statements have three asterisks explaining EXACTLY what you mean, I can't claim to know your position. Tell me, may I shoot an innocent man in the chest in order to more effectively communicate to him what dying is like? What forms of communication are restricted?
Here we go with the philosophy again. Adorable 😊
Philosophy? Do you have any idea how many times I've been banned from a platform that supposedly supported free speech? How many times I've seen other people banned? Do you think the arguments I present are just thought experiments or positions I've made up? I have heard people making most of those points over and over again.
"Adorable" implies I have something I could learn, but if you truly know that I am ignorant in something then what is this perspective that I am lacking huh? Do you have anything of substance behind you?
This is actually true, most of the people use X because of confirmation bias!
And those algorithms are trained according to their personal beliefs and biases!
Freedom tech is the way…….
The few will change the world.
the few are mostly very neutral in the first place
i have some fierce points on certain areas but i think the whole thing is you drift to the center of the compass if you honestly evaluate what is important
i never understood either side because they were always so unrealistic, always missing the "and then"
In the US, the First Amendment phrase "freedom of speech" is prefaced by "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the" meaning it was not seen as a positive right that others owe you but rather a negative right against government interference.
the entire edifice of "hate speech" is an offense against civil society, it is literally fascism, to dictate to people what business they may do (as opposed to everyone is the government, as in communism)
yet the whole western world has turned into literal nazi germany at this point
nailed it sir, I think I might be among the most 🤝

Agreed, people know to say the right words or they’ll be judged and criticized but deep inside they just want the power over their opposition.

Very well said
tech that facilitates that kind of freedom for all, will always have a neutral core, pushing the choices out to the individual.
I’m a simply guy, I don’t want to be locked up for a poorly judged tweet….. fortunately I “note”, so free speech win, even in the United socialist counties of Britain.

Nothing is more valuable than freedom! If someone is telling you that they have to limit freedom to make lifes better, run! As fast and wide as you can!
Remember: Benjamin Franklin was the OG shitposter in the US.
The loudest voices are often the only ones that matter.

Free speech can support you, free speech can humble you, free speech can bring lot of emotions, same as way of thinking you never imagined..
And i think its beautiful.

Playa understands.
Freedom (protocols or otherwise) guarantees disagreement.
We may not agree, but that’s part of the price— for freedom.

How can you want something no one has ever had before and you wouldn't know it if you had it?
Yeah, Free speech is important.
If a platform directly suppresses it then that's a problem.
However, if a platform gives its users the tools to do as they see fit with regards to what they see on their feeds, then I'm supportive of that.
Free speech debate is a distraction. We should be most concerned with free choice.
Marketing and advertising integration with these algorithms are making the end user the product. You have no choice of what you see and engage with.
#nostr fixes this.
I was with you until the last sentence.
