“With its open protocol, users in control and psychologically-different goals than mainstream social media today, everyone, including progressives, should be applauding efforts to build out the Nostr protocol that asks us to reexamine current social media and communication protocols on the internet, and encourages us to engage in a thoughtful and open way, where you, the user, are in control — not a corporation, not a self-entitled tech billionaire, not a nefarious government or unhinged political ruler. You.

To politicize this in any way is to miss out on mainstream adoption of a more free social media and internet communication protocol. And how were these principles and freedom tech politized in the first place? On mainstream social media, encouraged to divide us.” - nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3

I don’t think we need to worry about right vs. left, as both value free speech. And right and left administrations abuse privacy, e,g, Bush’s Stalinist Patriot Act and Obama’s Orwellian NSA. It’s more accurate to say that portions of the electorate are more or less animated by speech and privacy concerns given which side controls the White House at present.
