Wait I thought Nostr was branded as freedom with no censorship? Have I stumbled into another boondoggle?

Ryan has me muted, as do many of the other high-follower npubs
This place isn't doing much to resist censorship yet, it just has no bans
Muting isn't censorship 😂
Idk what definition of "censorship" you're using but it's definitely not accurate if it doesn't fit a mass muting campaign on Jack Dorsey's malware model where it results in algorithmic suppression
Calling your definition inaccurate might be arguable if you were talking about a single person's mute against a high-follower npub, but in this case there's no sincere disagreement to have, you're just being disingenuous to gaslight me and waste my time as you always do when attempting to venture out of your bubble and interact with me
I mute people to cultivate my own feed, I don't care what the whole world thinks. Free speech includes me choosing what speech I want to listen to. My mute list is private, so it isn't causing you any harm.
If I have a good post that you would repost, you won't see it
I've called you out on times you were wrong in the past and probably was overly hostile about it and your chosen response to me as a low follower count npub is to make it harder for me to gain any traction
This is why a decentralized version of the Aaron Swartz model would be better for censorship than a decentralized version of the Jack Dorsey model
Being free to say "I don't like this" is freedom of speech too. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism.
