Me walking out of work today wasn't a joke and yes it will have consequences on Tuesday. But sometimes you have to stand your ground and playing power games with me while I'm hyped for the halving and in a good mood was bad timing.

I agree with you (except the part where everyone has the right to the infrastructure, for me not everyone should have the right to the infrastructure like pedophiles because they present a danger, same for terrorists). otherwise I understand that people have different expectations. for example you want to have access to everything and then filter it yourself and I prefer that it's filtered for me because I prefer not to be 'in contact' with certain content. having different clients is probably the solution but at the same time they should be 'impermeable' to each other to a degree.

oh final note because it bears saying often. pedos dont deserve the use of their own teeth as far as I am concerned, but my viewpoint is mine. It is not my right to touch the data. Leave it alone. Its not ours.

your use of the word impermeable gave me another idea for explaining. We wear clothes because we are not impermeable to our environment. We each choose what clothes to wear based on the experience we want to have.

The anaolgy here is therefore that I could ask my town council to put a dome over the town and that would be much more convenient for everyone. Save a lot on snow removal too.

Ok but now you are in a bubble. who has the keys. If they lock the doors what do you do? If they change the air quality "for your benefit" would you even know? If so, what can you do about it.

Seems safer for a human to just put on a jacket.

I am suggesting jacket. Censors are suggesting bubble.

on unfiltered infrastructure they cannot hide as they can now. They use it the clients can auto report without telling you if you choose such a hypothetical setting. Trading freedom and openness for fear and censorship is a non starterr for me. It is harder to do it from the client in a decentralized way at the moment but it is possible. centralization and attendant temptation / ability to censor is not something that we should be encouraging if we actually want an open internet experience.

How often do you see those things now? If you dont follow them you shouldnt see them. I dont. dunno why you would. leads me to say that user side tools can do the job and the community is not as dirty as some seem to say.

this could be as simple as an llm to prechew your feed for you that learns your preferences over time or as heavy as an extensions layer supported by privacy focused DVM's that you can use for heavy lifting if needed.

The point is that there are options that don't give back the decentralization we have fought so hard for.

What you are about to see and read may appear unbelievable for some of you. But this is the state of affairs in Spain, a country often labeled as a communist nation in South-Europe.

A few years ago, an elderly man was fast asleep in his house at 2:30 am when a criminal, with 45 previous records of violence and not native to Spain, broke into the dwelling with the intent to rob. The old man woke up, and as a result, the criminal attempted to attack him. Fortunately, the elderly gentleman had a hunting weapon and was able to use it against the assailant, ultimately killing the criminal and saving his life.

What would have been a joyous ending in a civilized country has turned into a living nightmare for the old man in Spain. Here, it is literally against the law to defend yourself or your property with a weapon that holds more power than the one wielded by the criminal. This means if a criminal attacks you with a stick, you can only defend yourself with a stick and not something more formidable like a knife or gun, even if you're an elderly man up against a young, strong attacker. As a result, the old man now faces a 7-year prison sentence and a fine of 235,000€ (which he will never be able to pay).

If you find this unjust, prepare yourself for an even worse law: Spain is well-known in Europe for allowing people to occupy houses that do not belong to them without the permission of the rightful owner. It gets even crazier - if the new occupant does not pay the electricity and gas bills, you are still obligated to foot those expenses. After more than two years of tribunal proceedings (if you're lucky), there is a chance the court might return your house back to you, but by that point, the illegal occupant will have already moved on and taken over another dwelling. If you try to evict these squatters by force, you'll end up in jail. Thousands of elderly people are forced to live with relatives in Spain due to this issue, unable to reclaim their homes from the criminals.

I understand it's hard to believe but trust me; it's true.

Now, why does this happen? The answer is simple: Spain has a ratio of approximately 30% of its people living in poverty and unable to afford even the lowest rental prices for homes. Of course, they live in poverty because Spain is a full-blown socialist country moving rapidly towards communism, with an estimated real unemployment rate of around 30% and a significant reliance on tax revenue from working citizens. Additionally, they receive extra funding from the European Union, mostly Germany and other northern countries.

In order to prevent millions of people from being homeless, their solution is to allow poverty-stricken individuals to effectively steal homes from successful citizens in the past or those who are too old and vulnerable to defend themselves.

These are the consequences of both socialism and fiat money, as well as widespread ignorance and cowardice from taxpayers who unknowingly support these policies. People in more affluent countries in Europe should be aware that the only reason Spain has not yet collapsed into a full-blown Venezuela or Argentina is because your taxes are helping to keep it afloat. You're inadvertently funding our communism, and as the situation worsens, your countries will face similar challenges. Keep in mind that we are all connected - if Spain falls into complete chaos, it won't be long before the rest of Europe follows suit.

Now the video:

https://m.primal.net/HvAx.mp4

Elderly Man: I'm not going to leave my house, and I will defend it. I don't know how I'll defend it, but I'm not going to run away from it. I'd rather die in my house than flee and leave it in the hands of some criminals.

Judge: That's why I tell you, the purpose was that you were protecting your house, and then directly to you yourself, but what worried you is that you wouldn't leave your house.

Elderly Man: I'm not leaving my house.

Judge: That's it. The main defense was your home.

Elderly Man: Exactly.

Judge: Well, that's what I told you.

Elderly Man: It's because (the house) is what humans manage to achieve after a long life of struggle, sacrifice, effort, and passions. Having a place where you feel protected because it's yours. And according to the constitution, because it's inviolable

if it's just at the user level it's still considered a 'garbage feed'. just because a user chooses not to see posts let's say about zoophilia it doesn't mean the posts are not there, and 'normies' generally don't want to be part of a community that looks like the dark web, so nostr need to look for something else.

Pepe NOSTRos 1y ago

also I dont understand why people keep saying darkweb. Its not actually a thing. Its a propaganda term that was popularized by the centralizers in early web days. It basically means that if the feds (google and the gang) dont index it then its bad.

This is an old battle but I dont think it actually matters soon. The functionality that used to have to run on web servers will start to migrate back to the client side as personal ai takes hold. The issue there will be the same but I think the cat is out of the bag,

be well

Replying to

I think there should be different clients with different levels of moderation, ranging from zero moderation (forums on the dark web) to a lot of moderation (tiktok level of moderation). after all people download an app (client) they don't care about what's on the other clients.

Pepe NOSTRos 1y ago

cool but in the end the one that gives you any level you want will win through wider appeal.

as a note thought. If the ISP's blocked porn there would never have been a www. I remember the early days. The web you know was built on filth that few people ever saw.

Not my bag. I dont partake in the kinks. However they have a right to use infrastructure like anyone else. The infrastructure people got waaaay too uppity during late 90s to 2010s. They centralized everything to the server and called it convenience and safety focus.

Now we have a censorable and highly censored www. This is the basic issue that leads me to say. Put the tools on the clients. I dont trust anyone to filter at the infrastructure. They have all proven themselves unworthy of that trust so far. All have said this time is different.

I'll give you my 100% objective opinion as someone who's here kinda by chance. creating a platform or protocol with 0% moderation will never attract the masses. Yes nostr will eventually get the reputation of being a heaven for nazis, white supremasists and even pedophiles, 'normies' as you call them don't want that. Just look at the popularity of tiktok where you can't even say words like 'suicide' or 'murder'... now I get that you might not care about 'normies' and it's great if they don't come but the discussions about how nostr will become profitable to the people working on it say otherwise.

Pepe NOSTRos 1y ago

You are absolutely correct. the issue is where the tools reside. User / client side or on infrastructure somewhere. If its on infrastructure then we are recentralizing and creating chokepoints that are very attractive to censorship / authourtarian types.

no one wants a garbage feed. I just dont trust anyone I dont know to filter it for me.
