Nostr Web Client

Amusingly, the only reason you didn't find them is because nostr.band censors some profiles by default behind the spam filter. On android and on Snort that user shows up.

You are supporting it though. If you believe that noone should be censored then you are supporting this user posting sick, abhorrent content and being able to share it with others, tip each other, etc. You are specifically stating that you don't think these users should lose access to the platform no matter what they post.

And bear in mind that for a normal user on a normal browser not hiding behind a VPN, when they see this stuff then mute it it still get cached to their machine and can land them in trouble with the law, so what possible reason would a normal person have to come on a platform that is open to pedos?

I'm not going to get into a massive antivax argument with you, but no, spreading more misinformation would not have saved lives. If anything quite the opposite is true.

Why would I want to launch a paid moderated relay? I don't support pedos and Nazis and I don't post dangerous misinformation so like 99.9% of people I have no problem using multiple normal social media platforms. Why would I contribute to populating a platform that supports pedos?

It wouldn't even be able to interconnect with other unfiltered relays so it'd end up just being a standalone social media app and server, at which point why would I use the slow ass protocol Nostr is built on?

The more I explain, the more you don't understand. I didn't say he shouldn't be censored. I said he has the right to post whatever he wants, I have the right to censor him. But I don't want someone to blame him in my place. This is not supporting him at all. This is supporting the right to freedom of expression. If someone is disgusting, they can still post things as long as they are not criminal. If it forms criminals, it is not the role of a blue-haired enlightened person on the platform to do the censorship. It's a case of police, complaints and police. And let the damn police do their job: INVESTIGATE, instead of transferring the responsibility for doing this to the platforms.

We will never agree. So I keep quiet here.

I do understand. Don't mistake me disagreeing with you with me not understanding. I understand entirely that you want to be able to say things that get you banned on any normal platform, saying things you would never say to people face to face and you say behind a screen of anonymity. And you're so desperate for that you even support a platform that allows pedophiles to trade abuse images.

What you fail to understand is that nromal peopel will not stick around on this platform with content like that being allowed, so congratulations you'll be free to say whatever you want in an echo chamber that only contains other die-hard supporters like you and some pedos and Nazis.

Is that your ultimate goal for the platform? To have a tiny platform that noone uses full of abhorrent content just so you can feel like you've not been censored, even though noone is seeing what you say? Because that's what all of these zero censorship platforms devolve into

I'm sure the police will investigate by the way. And what they'll do is go after the node providers hosting the content and refusing to take it down, so you can pretty much kiss goodbye to any nodes operated by people in the US or Europe. Since the content is on the extreme side of illegal it wouldn't surprise me if authorities went after app developers that refused to remove the content too.

Google and Apple will almost certainly take down any apps on their stores too, since it's requirement that illegal user-generated content be removed, not just hidden so the apps will have to either implement full censorship or they won't be able to distribute on the stores.
