That’s something I’ve been saying for a long time and not only about Nostr. One of the basic needs for every human is to be able to make mistakes. And that means the hope that they can be forgotten. Social media (and those on forever protocols especially) deprive us of fulfilling the need. I’ve done some pretty dumb shit in my life and if I were to be held accountable for everything for the rest of my life, I would have not gotten anywhere. If there is a prospect that my future employer (or clients) would be able to scour my social media accounts and judge me on the basis of what I did years ago, I’d probably think twice of doing some of those things. And that is not a good thing. We need young people to do more dumb shit. To take more risks. So they can grow into responsible adults.

Posting pictures of other people means you are taking decisions for them. That is never fine, but might be somewhat acceptable if there is a way for them to fix it. This is not the case on Nostr, but at least here it is specifically stated. It’s the same on other social media, but there is an illusion of the possibility.

I like Nostr as a technology, but please, let’s return to online forums. It would be better for everybody.
