muting is not censorship.

Who in his right mind would think that?
No one.

Who said it was?
Is just saying
"Get tf away from me"
But digitally.
I'm probably on many mute lists. Lol
and all of that is okay :100:
Muting doesn't do much on Nostr !!! At least I have yet to experience
it can work well, but clients have different implementations of it.
we need more Mr Mackey GIFs.
Correct. It’s the individual simply choosing to ignore. Not a government or company removing a user’s platform/soapbox.
It's kind of like what Jason Lowery or Larry Leopard says... You can't stop someone from talking, but you can opt yourself out of hearing it. It's still the individual's choice.
Correct. Banning and muting people privately is not censorship. Private means you get to exclude whomever and whatever you want from your private property and from your private spaces.
On the other hand, government muting and banning is censorship. Government telling private entities to ban and mute is censorship.
Absolutely :110percent:
censorship implies force
Both muting and blocking on client side do not restrict the sender in any way. It is a fine way to prevent unwanted messages.
On the server or forced upon the sender are a lot more problematic, because you take away choice from receivers who might want to receive the message.
This is like saying the USPS temporary ban on delivering Chinese packages didn't restrict the sender because they were still able to box and mail the package.
If a recipient doesn't want messages from a sender that's fine and if they want to opt in to a 3rd party adjudicators WOT/ spam etc filter that's fine too (I expect most people would opt in to this too). The issue is where it is opt out and particularly that it's not transparent to new users that the function is enabled by default.
Muting is freedom of association.
No doubt. Some people think it is, but it’s definitely but the same thing.
Censorship = you can’t say that.
Muting = I don’t have to hear that.
How dare you curate your feed!
Natürlich nicht. Zensur abzulehnen bedeutet nicht das ich mich von jedem daher gelaufenen Trottel zu Texten lassen muss.
It depends
On a centralized platform/common server by the owner or in decentralized protocol where individual is muting another individual?
My email Spam filter neither.
Muting your rx channels is equivalent to using an umbrella in the rain. Muting tx channels means blocking the rain.
