This is genius. I’m just a survivor advocate so I can only take the conversation so far on my end. The tech based solutions will have to come from those who understand what’s possible. I can’t offer that.

What I can say is that on a personal level I care deeply about freedom. I don’t want to see #nostr or #bitcoin get a bad reputation as a result of poor planning.

If abusers use zaps on Nostr to distribute and purchase illegal content, that’s what the public will remember. That’s what they will be told goes on here by governments and the corporate press.

The corporate press won’t probably write about a survivor sharing their story and being allowed to speak without the fear of censorship at the hands of the powerful or the most beautiful parts about Nostr.

Negative press could be used as a reason to explain why this type of freedom “shouldn’t be encouraged or allowed.” Those seeking power and control have an interest in maintaining their power. If the public uses corporate tech platforms, the governments still have some control over the voices of the people. Some countries have more censorship options than others.

I’ve played the movie forward because I care. I’d expect the most aggressive attacks from the governments and corporate press imaginable (just like with Ross but worse) and they will use the very real crimes against children as an excuse.

Get ahead of all of it. Do whatever is possible to brace for impact.

Protect your freedom like adults, not because it’s fun, this conversation sucks actually, but because you care more about freedom than fun. When you realize what is at stake you move differently. 💜 nostr:note1f3jhpn0f0lls3gapum64jk22ta703gys92pvpsxh7ls0da6ad9hsxe36tt

Do you have herpes? AIDS? Syphilis?

People with your proclivities tend to be 80% likely to have the first one, and high likelihood of the other two as well.

I understand 😂

There will be other solutions available.

You see I don’t fully disagree.

This is not the luxury that all have. I am a survivor advocate and when survivors step forward anonymously it’s more difficult for them to be believed especially when speaking out against the powerful and it’s already difficult for public survivors to be believed.

I was thinking about why Julian #Assange wasn’t anon while running Wikileaks last night.

Would #Wikileaks have had the impact that it had if he had been anon? If you look at the body of Wikileaks work, I believe that unfortunately it needed a public face to gain traction. I’m not saying I fully agree with or disagree with his personality etc. I’m solely speaking about Wikileaks and public traction.

What was more important? Remaining anon or exposing human rights violations and war crimes to the masses?

How about there is just a culture of calling out bad behavior? How about we start there? nostr:note1lz2v903t0axa2nn8v38hjyjedyasjw2k86w7t9s5ckrs7py5xatqhr6uqm

You can't block people from posting on an open protocol. The best solution is a mute option at the client level, which most clients have. In other words, you can control what you see, but you can't control what others see or what others say.

I think that it would be interesting to speak with Assange and find out what if anything he would have done differently with Wikileaks and if that would include being anon for Wikileaks.

That’s a pretty good test case along with Snowden or Ross.

I see some cases with survivors exposing powerful abusers in a similar way.

My favorite part of my work + my personal experiences is getting the opportunity to turn a individual like the one below into solutions for the future.

This profile has harassed myself and others, sexually harassed, impersonated and stalked me on #nostr and it’s been the perfect example of what others will face (sometimes on a massive scale) as they come over. It’s giving myself and a few of the builders an opportunity to find solutions for the future!

This type of behavior also affords the community an opportunity to decide how they will respond to these behaviors.

I’d rather it happen to me early because although this profile harassing this is like a 1 on a scale of 100 as to the type of behavior that is seen on social media apps. So everyone has a good example.

Stay safe out there Nostr. This is your house. Get ready to protect it. 💜 nostr:note12q2jxrjuy9mrc66rwems69e3s3a72tegy226xde0qmagfj4ahjpschrlfm
