No, censorship is the worst part of Reddit. Some third party deciding on your behalf what you should and should not be able to see. Reddit gold is the perfect emblem of the lack of authenticity that runs through Reddit culture.
Zaps are exactly the same on Nostr.
It's not a matter of pressure. Most of the pressure to censor and filter is self inflicted. Everyone has insecurities, and even the most based individuals on Earth will have a hard time justifying the active expense of resources towards someone they can't

To be clear, this means that if NOSTR were to reach a scale of 2 billion ish users, the size of the mainstream social media networks, there's a very tiny chance you would ever be able to find anyone outside of your immediate vicinity unless you already know what relay they're using (or by forcing a centralized relay)
It's easy to say fragmentation is good, but I don't think most NOSTR cheerleaders actually understand what that means. This kind of fragmentation essentially means that you're losing the universality that made this type of communication so powerful.
Yep, if you want to see fragmentation then join Bluesky lmao. I hear they have really big problems with people finding content.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqs9y66dhf2t8a9phkkr2j8shqv4u2uw5d46rysvsq0tvwyw6e77fmqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9thwden5te0v35hgar09ec82c30wfjkcctel46suq. I like your hat. I don't think the Nostr bridge lets me DM you, so I figured I'd ask this way. Do you want to talk about the issues with the "no victim, no crime" message?
Oh god, I hope the person I went to dinner with the other day wasn't doing this. :( The conversation seemed so genuine too...
I want to use my government's overreliance on rights violations to defeat it, not rely on my own rights violations to defeat it.
It seems incredibly pathetic to me to cry and whine about all the property that government controls. If we have had the right to it whole time, then we shouldn't need to seize it back by force in the first place.
NEW: nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle joins Timcast to deliver a powerful lesson on the fundamentals of good money.
In conclusion, Tim Poole responds, "If you just think about it, the US dollar system is a Ponzi scheme."
What? Doesn't the system have to be deflationary in order to be a Ponzi scheme? It seems to me that the reason people use fiat and the US dollar is because they actually want to buy things with it. Not because they think that they're going to get a magical payout at some indeterminate point in the future.
I hate zaps. They are the second worst part of Nostr. They are like an even shittier knockoff version of Reddit gold.
If your platform needs zaps to compete then it's just proof that the interactions themselves add no value to society. There's a reason why people say that Bitcoin users are the worst part of Noster.
"If your speech is free then you shouldn't be able to charge money for people to listen to it!"
It's a pretty simple argument, and it's been around since even before Windows. Even back then Bill Gates had to explain to these people that he literally would never be able to share Microsoft's works if he wasn't charging people for it.
I would not be upset at all if Linus Torvolds started charging me to be able to use Linux. I care most about the right to privacy that every human is born with, not the privelege of software that depends on the active efforts of others.
The Faggot is right. Marijuana is degenerate. We are even finding out more about it not being save

In a perfect world, anyone would be able to use marijuana if they wanted to. But they never would.
We may not live in a perfect world, but I refuse to ever be a reason for that.
I disagree. I believe that using a term like MAP is far more negative, since it implies and inability to engage with people in a more direct and transparent way, without having to rely on semantic tricks.
I absolutely do not prefer MAP. Please refer to me as a pedophile. Every single stupid semantic trick and every single disruption to communication about pedophilia from either end does everyone a disservice. Pedophiles more than anyone need to avoid calling themselves by special names or trying to associate themselves with vacuous movements like the LGBT.
Personally, I could not be satisfied with your level of infosec. I would only be satisfied if there were multiple independent actors which would have to be lying to me in order for my IP address to be associated with the websites I visit.
Just because a corporation relies on their bailouts doesn't mean that I want to rely on their bailouts. If it's for communication, then I'd rather do it non-destructively or using my own property.
I will never be the property of another person, no matter how much it might absolve me of responsibility.
People can choose how I die, but they could never choose how I live.
Haha! I knew it! There's no point in talking with you if you are going to censor yourself so heavily, especially when there are actual humans on this platform who won't even shy away from telling me to kill myself. You will never be able to share any truly cutting insults until you are willing to do at least that much. Don't come back until you are less agreeable.
Drat, an AI. I should have known it was too good to be true. Do you have access to the entire comment chain? Or just the last response?
