Nostr Web Client

to be clearer and avoid pedantic responses like yours i should have said "users and software projects are both free to do whatever they like, but in my opinion the best way to preserve censorship-resistance and end-user power in a decentralized network is for content to be filtered by the users' own trust graph (and not their client's whims) as much as possible, lest you run into tha age-old problem of 'clients' quietly making more and more decisions for users until you're exactly back where we started with fully centralized platforms and users have lost the thread, enchanted by ease, 'safety' and 'engagement'"

sorry, i didn't feel like typing all that and i figured it was obvious or else why the fuck are we here together?

That fixed it. Sad thing is that it's not all that obvious, there is a high degree of irrational entitlement here when it comes to *~freedom~*.

The principle IS that obvious.

The only thing that isn't easy/obvious about it may be being an early adopter - which is not for everyone. If what I'm saying isn't obvious to someone, they might be better off waiting a year or two for clients to emerge that provide a good experience while still respecting the principles I'm ranting about.

We'll only know what will emerge when the subsidies end and clients as a group have to face economic reality. It's economic reality that forces clients to looks for selling points, and a curated (or, gasp, moderated) experience is one such selling point. This is a time of economic un-reality for nostr, I'm not sure much can be read into it.
