I'm happy to give nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg some artistic license here. It's also worth considering that the people who advocate for filters do not have a clearly articulated position. That includes a lack of clarity about how far they're willing to go. Is the line really at automatic updates? Just because nobody said it out loud? The arguments in favour of filtering seem to vary by who you ask. So that means any attempt at summarising the position can be interpreted as a straw man by someone who has a slightly different position that the other person.

One man’s artistic license is another’s strawman. In discourse, speculating about what position your interlocutor might hold in the future with no evidence whatsoever to back it up - a.k.a. mind reading - is a close cousin to straw manning.
