Replying to nobody

I don’t understand how to get it through thick skulls: *any* form of centralized moderation is anathema to free speech. *Any* form of content curation that is opt out instead of opt in is anathema to free speech.

And yes, I am perfectly happy to turn child diddlers over to the state. That is the proper and correct role of the state. I’m not an anarchist.

If you cannot handle curating your own feed then free speech is not for you. Freedom comes with the responsibility to not be a little sensitive bitch and block what you don’t like, report what should be prosecuted, and move the fuck on.

They’re very subjective in a lot of areas, and vary culture to culture. Individual relays could advertise themselves as doing such, and user enablable filters could do this in a way that was customizable and gave the power of choice and consent to the end user.

Back in the 1970s, censorship was an issue with print magazines. As I recall, the US Supreme Court decided to leave it to local communities for these very reasons.

Yes, and they were probably into something. I’d love to be able to point you to a marketplace of filters and algos and tell you to go wild. I think that’s coming. That way it becomes purely local, and you and your family can decide for yourselves how to experience Nostr, without anyone having to tell anyone else how to.
