How do you properly identify a Republican?
Discussion
You simply use #bitcoin and buy a republican check mark on #nostr
So you don't want to see anything about Bitcoin on your feed?
That could happen one day. Who knows? My mother taught me talking about money is tacky
#Nostr gives everyone a choice. That's what is so pure about it.
Clients will eventually allow you to mute words just like you can mute npubs.
You don't need relays for this.
Very true. And anyone can have any kind of experience they choose.
But if you own a computer you are responsible for all data on that machine.
I would guess most #nostr relays are hosted on AWS servers. That would mean they would have to follow their terms of agreement and ethical guidelines. All of which were established by local and federal laws as well as market demand
The data being hosted that gets axxed by AWS or any host would put that onus on them not the relay operators.
If someone forces you to censor your relay, that's a tough spot. Remember when Elon faced a similar situation with Turkey? He had to choose between censoring Twitter or having it blocked completely. It's a difficult balance, but in the end, we have to weigh the consequences and decide what’s best for the platform and its users
That's different, if a relay gets censored on AWS, they'll move to another provider.
End of the day the cloud wars are real & they want customers.
