Good morning to you, the best of people. ❤️

the bad news is if relays sign on to some busybody’s censorship list, your reach will be arbitrarily curtailed

Linda Yaccarino here with the “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” Twitter sophistry.

No one has the obligation to listen to you, but if someone decides to label you and curtail your reach to others because they don’t agree with what you’re saying, that person is acting as a de factor censor.

“Corporation” or “government” isn’t the relevant designation. Rather it’s the centralization of the censor. If one person/group/committee can decide for the many, it has the same effect.

Code is just 1s and 0s, but the word has a dual meaning.

To have a “code” is to have principles. Censoring people violates those principles.

A bad idea can be challenged and improved by a good one, but the censorship of people and ideas with which we disagree disables the corrective mechanism itself.

There is no second use case!

Parenting tip: you don't have to sing baby lullabies or play baby songs to your newborn. They will happily rock out to The Sisters Of Mercy and Prince if you offer it to them, no matter how off key you are.
