I did an interview on XM radio. They said: "You can swear on XM radio". No shit; 'cause nobody can hear it. You can swear in the woods too.

Lol, relevant. The worst part is I can’t even tell if I’m being censored because it’s literally just Amethysts filters. It’d be different if relays were doing it.

I think your missing a bit:

From Wiki: “Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information.”

The relays are all private & so is Amethyst I do believe. Build your own in an open environment.

The simile: its like a pear farmer saying apple farmers are censoring the pears. No, grow more pears, or eat them apples.

If Amethyst is censoring the user base, the market will decide if it continues.

There is freedom of speech not consequences.

Onyx is amythest with filters removed. Though I think you can disable filters in settings.

Would be cool if once you disabled the filters in settings Amethyst changed its name to Onyx dynamically. A master troll move from Vitor.

That actually would be a pretty good UI mechanism to give confidence to the user they are seeing as much as possible.

I know, but they shouldn’t be enabled by default, and my posts are literally labelled as “illegal content” or something for some ppl, so it’s a very malicious and manipulative censorship system Vitor has created.

Feel free to suggest a system whereby I can't create a bot that constantly post dick pics from different accounts to every comment chain you belong to.

I believe someone is working on a more elegant solution.

This is why open protocols are hard, it’s a complete free for all and the UX suffers.. but it’s getting better, esp in more good clients like Primal instead of half-assed ones
