I do understand. Don't mistake me disagreeing with you with me not understanding. I understand entirely that you want to be able to say things that get you banned on any normal platform, saying things you would never say to people face to face and you say behind a screen of anonymity. And you're so desperate for that you even support a platform that allows pedophiles to trade abuse images.

What you fail to understand is that nromal peopel will not stick around on this platform with content like that being allowed, so congratulations you'll be free to say whatever you want in an echo chamber that only contains other die-hard supporters like you and some pedos and Nazis.

Is that your ultimate goal for the platform? To have a tiny platform that noone uses full of abhorrent content just so you can feel like you've not been censored, even though noone is seeing what you say? Because that's what all of these zero censorship platforms devolve into

I'm sure the police will investigate by the way. And what they'll do is go after the node providers hosting the content and refusing to take it down, so you can pretty much kiss goodbye to any nodes operated by people in the US or Europe. Since the content is on the extreme side of illegal it wouldn't surprise me if authorities went after app developers that refused to remove the content too.

Google and Apple will almost certainly take down any apps on their stores too, since it's requirement that illegal user-generated content be removed, not just hidden so the apps will have to either implement full censorship or they won't be able to distribute on the stores.

Amusingly, the only reason you didn't find them is because nostr.band censors some profiles by default behind the spam filter. On android and on Snort that user shows up.

You are supporting it though. If you believe that noone should be censored then you are supporting this user posting sick, abhorrent content and being able to share it with others, tip each other, etc. You are specifically stating that you don't think these users should lose access to the platform no matter what they post.

And bear in mind that for a normal user on a normal browser not hiding behind a VPN, when they see this stuff then mute it it still get cached to their machine and can land them in trouble with the law, so what possible reason would a normal person have to come on a platform that is open to pedos?

I'm not going to get into a massive antivax argument with you, but no, spreading more misinformation would not have saved lives. If anything quite the opposite is true.

Why would I want to launch a paid moderated relay? I don't support pedos and Nazis and I don't post dangerous misinformation so like 99.9% of people I have no problem using multiple normal social media platforms. Why would I contribute to populating a platform that supports pedos?

It wouldn't even be able to interconnect with other unfiltered relays so it'd end up just being a standalone social media app and server, at which point why would I use the slow ass protocol Nostr is built on?

good morning

today is a day ending in Y and Israel bombed another place of worship because fuck you faggot 40 dead babies muh holocaust.

That's definitely not true though. I saw loads of vaccine misinformation and loads of people complaining abut vaccines throughout the pandemic. People that were banned were the people going way beyond the limits and creating dangerous situations.

I do understand completely, you inventing a scenario that didn't happen based on your persecution complex so you can makes yourself feel justified in supporting a platform that allows pedophiles to trade abuse images and even monetize them.

Yes, he had his social networks removed because he was spreading dangerous misinformation that was resulting in people trusting fake health information and making health choices that killed them based on it. In my view I wouldn't just silence people spreading dangerous antivax information, I'd hold them liable for every single death that resulted from it.

I love how you think you're going to change my mind by complaining that you don't feel it was fair that you weren't allowed to convinced people to kill themselves based on fake information.

Plenty of people talk against vaccines and don't get banned. You problem is that you want to spread dangerous misinformation about vaccines. It's not like you want to have a fact-based discussion about vaccines, you just want to scream nonsense about them and convince people not to get vaccinated.

I don't have to worry about being banned because I'm not a lunatic, that's what it comes down to. So if you feel you are so incapable of self-restraint that you can only hang out on a platform that allows Nazis and pedos, then by all means do so. Just don't cry when it fails to reach broad appeal and the apps get purged from all the stores.

Well I was here to see if there was any merit to the system but now I'm here to laugh at how deluded some of you guys are. The second I said a single thing that did adhere to your cultish beliefs you guys started foaming at the mouth and complaining about me being here. Kinda highlights how weak your position is.

I'm never going to take a "recovered alien body" photo seriously if it looks humanoid. We flatter ourselves thinking they'd look like us. You want my attention, you need to show me a cuttlefish adapted for space. It better not be cute, either. It needs that "long-distance trucker estranged from his family" energy. I need to feel so sorry looking at that poor bastard that I get jet lag by proxy.

I just had a conversation with my wife about how negative and awful most of the internet and social media have become. Interactions are driven toward conflict and cruelty, or are just people stroking their own egos and vanity. It’s happening with kids and adults alike, and in fact a lot of the behavior exhibited by adults is just another form of playground bullying and high school popularity contests.

But somehow, in this free and open place where nobody can be censored or banned, we’re not just nicer to each other, but we celebrate each others’ differences. Sure, we poke fun and troll, but we do it out of love, not malice. We also make fun of ourselves, because, let’s face it, none of us are as dumb as all of us. Is it perfect? Nope. But it’s what we need most right now, and it could not have come along at a better time.

It’s a beautiful mess, and it works.

Good night. 💜🫂🤙

It's not an authoritarian talking point, the fact is that we can pick a platform in part based on how that platform deals with abhorrent content.

Historically when platforms go with the "zero censorship" approach, abhorrent content starts showing up and since it never gets removed people just remove themselves from the platform, skewing the ratio towards abhorrent content. Before too long it's just mostly just the people who post abhorrent content.

And bear in mind, most normal people don't get censored or banned on traditional social media platforms, we can discuss pretty much everything we want to in the terms we want to without getting banned. So even the concept of a censorship resistant platform is primarily marketed towards people who are abhorrent and lack self-restraint.

Really? I thought it was pretty good.

Or are you just getting defensive 🤔

No offense, but this "analysis" is actually just a series of unfounded first impressions from someone who didn't think about Nostr for more than 5 seconds.

Music to my ears
