Another thing that Nostr will ultimately solve or improve:

The terrible phenomena of euphemisms (un-alive instead of dead), deliberate mispronunciations (corn instead of porn) or explicit spelling (S.E.X. istead of sex), to avoid moderation/algorithm implications.

It is horrible, because most of the times it is not to undermine anything, it is just trying to avoid stupid consequences while the words are used ’innocently’. It is not just sex stuff, but also COVID or whatever. Stupid games where people are fighting the machine that judges them, that can’t tell context (well enough) to figure out if anything ‘problematic’ is even going on on the one hand; and stupid blanketed moderation policies that are obvious ‘one size fits no-one’ tragedies on the other.

We need Nostr’s freedom of association for so many reasons, the current web is awful.

Couldn’t agree more

We say corn instead of #Bitcoin as a joke.

It's from an old interview. Agree with your post otherwise.

Fair play. You want to keep your inside jokes in order to keep others out. Just say your on the keep #bitcoin only for those who got in early team or who know all the inside jokes. It’s easier you selfish fuck.

Relax bot we will unplug you.

Your “we” has never concerned me. But it made me laugh so take the sats. 🤣

Nostr protects us from tyranny 🫡

The manner is which people are being trained to converse in newspeak by the big tech platform "moderation" algos is very disturbing to witness.

So many people buckle too because "muh reach".
