Nostr Web Client

It is a sexist thing. Women generally don't want freedom. They want walled gardens. You've already started to build walled gardens. Until then, women should take what they dish out. If they can't, then they are too weak for the current environment until it becomes "civilized" enough for them.

Trying to use collectivist BS to defend one's self should not be tolerated here. That's all I see in the latest conflagration, and I'm trying to ignore it, but... It's annoying that you're kinda taking the side of the group that I think is wrong in how they are handling something that should never have escalated in the first place.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by walled gardens here.

The way I use Nostr is that I mostly stick to the people I follow since I know it's much more likely they will have something interesting to say. If I'm bored I will switch to general and see if I can find more people to follow. I won't pick arguments with people in general and I won't put anyone on my blocklist unless they specifically tag me with something I find abusive.

I am a woman. How does this correspond to the ideas of "freedom" and "walled garden" you're talking about? I don't want a feed that is curated by anyone except me, I don't want anyone else to be censored on my behalf. Nobody can make that decision except me.

The concept of the walled garden is pretty much what you want, just with tools to help curate your feed.

It also might imply some automated filtering, especially with Low Information Voter's tool. For example, I'm pretty sure you'd rather not see tyranny porn, and it's possible for you to preemptively filter that. But, again, this is a tool that you would use and set to your own preferences, not something externally imposed on you.

So that's freedom no? Because it gives me the maximal capacity to choose.

To me walled garden suggests that someone else is keeping out undesirable stuff on my behalf, whether I want it or no. It's a closed platform I have to specifically subscribe to and probably pay for the privilege, that doesn't interoperate with other systems. That's how AOL worked and largely how Apple works nowadays.

The freedom to choose is essentially it, but, the walled garden image invokes keeping out undesirable things and being able to cultivate those that you desire in an environment of your choosing.
