I believe we need some fundamental rights on any social media platform or protocol we use.
The rights are:
1. Privacy & Security
2. Ownership
3. Interoperability
4. Algorithmic Control
5. Self-Governance
I’ve created a little website to campaign for these rights at https://rights.social.
That's sounds very idealistic, but you don't have any rights while using the services of a private company. It's take it or leave it.
It's like saying if you are invited to my house, you should have the right to sleep in the couch.
That's why Nostr
i against that , sounds anti semitiscm and censorship in the name of security and privacy .
Great criteria to evaluate differing social media platforms 👇
👍
decentralise everything.
sounds great isn't it ? fundamental rights on social media come to Nostr and if you see point 1 ( security and privacy )..you know what that means .
nobody should government fundamental rights on Decentralized Protocols.
if you think it is good , think again and don't get fooled many times falling to the same hole .
Hi rabble 😉🤟🏴☠️ These five principles should be the foundation of any digital space that respects its users. The battle for online sovereignty is just beginning walled gardens and opaque algorithms won’t last forever. Curious to see how your campaign unfolds decentralization and user empowerment are the future.
that's rly well put together!
That's gay bullshit. You want the government to take credit for and tax us for the freedom we only obtained through our own hard work? You want people who don't give a shit about freedom to not only mooch off of us, but hate us for slightly inconveniencing them in their shallow, irresponsible hedonism? Is the thought of people just growing a spine and leaving an abusive platform so terrifying that you would rather put enormous effort into plugging up every new and creative way that shitty organization can come up with to continue being shitty?
Where did i say we should bend the knee and ask governments for these rights? Or choose to use some platform that users themselves don’t control?
I don't interpret you as saying we should choose platforms without user control. I interpreted you as trying to coerce existing platforms with tyrannical owners into giving up some of their control to their users. It sounds to me like the idea of people growing a spine and leaving these platforms is so upsetting to you that you would rather put enormous effort into plugging up every new and creative way that these shitty platforms can come up with to continue screwing over theur users. Is any of this accurate?
When you said that we should "campaign" for these rights I got the strong impression that you meant that you believed governments should be involved. I suppose it's possible that someone could "campaign" for a private actor to do something, and it's possible that you don't see the same danger I see in asking the government for anything, but that's not the impression I got. The impression I got is that you want the government to "create" rights for us. My impression is that you have a very low view of individual choice as a force for solving problems and improving society, and my impression is that you don't particularly care about how dangerous petitioning the government might be, nor do you particularly mind or disagree with the narrative that we would have only succeeded because of government intervention. Is any of my intuition wrong? How would you phrase your position?
By the way, my web browser is broken on this device so I haven't been able tk visit your website.
You’re very thoughtful, engaging, and you’re right. I found you the most compelling of the Breaking The Bird documentary (and I enjoyed Biz too). We ( nostr:npub1uense4apn73tvh4u20tzlp6u72g4kdustzsm0k0sqy6yuwh5jxlsy97y76 and I) both sat in stunned silence at the end, grieving what might have been, repelled by the spoilers of such a delightful concept, thankful for the purity of #nostr. These special protocols require a nurturing structure like what you’re suggesting.
Social media companies should be allowed to operate as they please.
If you don’t want to be subject to a company, don’t use their product.
This is how freedom works.
Protocols like NOSTR do not need a campaign for freedom—it’s baked in.
Rights imply asking permission. Stop
Totally 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Nice! 👏
Where to submit PRs for content?
We already have rights. We have free will We may want to live in a country that supports this so it's good to make a template for such an occasion.
The thing is regarding broadcasting. We can discuss anything. Literally, the word conspiracy means to share breath in a conversation but we are broadcasting beyond just a conversation in a space or room. We ride on top of TCP/IP. We are using the labor and materials of others who have the right to cut us off because they own the routers, servers, operating systems and software of the OSI model.
The above illustration is also peer to peer as the client and server do the same thing but the issue is physical and transport.
As long as you in any way, shape or form disagree with another you can walk away in real time but in broadcasting there is a matter of filtering what you want and what others want. Some people want violence and pornography. Here is the town hall. Or a public square. Violence is accepted or rejected but it's a town square and the rule makers will allow it disallow based on Fiat or the fear of God. Nature on the other hand is cruel and has already allowed anything to happen.
Unless you make your issue a crusade based on God's law you are competing with nature and nature is cruel and it will always be uncontrollable because of sovereign individuals who have free will. Legal or illegal is reactionary and the crime has already been committed and the crime in one place is a rite in another.
Your best bet is to know that you will have to have thick skin, a spiritual connection to God who runs the whole show and the realization that you can and will have to pay for your freedom of speech! You may pay with your life. This is why it's best to make your speech one that is in line with the Creator.
Now if you put the above idea into your bill of rights you empower others.
Declaration of Independence is a great example:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights,"
