@hodlbod I don't understand why is welshman lib using kind 9 as MESSAGE kind? That is the default kind for deletion request.

Should a community relay automatically respect delete requests?

## Announcing BudaBit: The Club for Builders in Freedom tech Share, discuss and inspire each other: I am launching [BudaBit](https://budabit.club) , a club-like space based on Flotilla.social , an app for relay-based communities by @hodlbod . If you are a builder (or an aspiring builder) in the space then you are most welcome! What we will be doing in the club: - Share our work with the group to receive constructive feedback - Bouncing ideas off each other in meaningful conversations - Networking with like-minded people I see this as a new settlement in cyberspace where we builders take the land and make it thrive together. I have many plans with this club. I want to make it ever more attractive to and with those people who see value in such a thing. To join: You are either whitelisted already because I am following you, or you will have to drop a DM or tag me in a post. Unfortunately there is no way as of yet to submit a join request. Meet you inside! 🤙

The reason I love books from @Saifedean Ammous is that they tend to trigger a strong reaction in people. Any precoiner I meet with any curiosity at all I do this: I just give a copy of either the Bitcoin or the Fiat standard (based on our discussion) and promise them a conversation any time if they read it. If they don't, no time wasted. Out of the ppl who actually read it, each and every one of them wanted to talk fervently about stuff they don't understand or disagree with. That's a sign of a good book.

The "Who should rule" conundrum is a red herring, one that devastated entire civilizations. It just leads to bad philosophy ruining the very means of human progress. The better question is "How should we remove bad rulers?" That is, we need to focus on error correction rather than chasing perfect social choice theories. Mistakes are inevitable. But we can progress nonetheless by upholding a culture of criticism. This culture must be embedded in freedom technology, otherwise the means of error correction are bound to be co-opted by some ruling class. Nostr and bitcoin are the foundations we can build on. Focus on how freedom can actually be realized: technology that empowers the individual, step by step, meeting people where they are but striving to take them further gradually. Freedom-tech goes hand in hand with reality. That is why it is winning. Ask the right questions, don't get dragged down by red herrings. The future looks bright. Problems are soluble, and with proof of work we will get there. #karlpopper #daviddeutsch #philosophy #freedomtech

Nostr is no exception: If you can't program it, you don't understand it. #daviddeutsch

@jb55 I was wondering is #notedeck going to be able to support a relay-centric moderated community column? I am thinking of a column scoped to a specific relay with auth and supporting either hodlbod's [NIP](https://github.com/coracle-social/nips/blob/relay-chat/xx.md) or NIP29. I see issue #376 that single-relay column is planned ideed but what about functionality related to semi-closed groups? Is this perhaps possible with #nostrscript -enabled columns? Context: I am exploring possible options to create a discord-like space on nostr where I can hang out with Freedom Tech builders. So far #flotilla seems to be my best bet from @hodlbod but it is not optimized for easy and performant widgets that I need to have the best possible nostr experience tweaked to perfection for me and members. I would just share the required columns for the group and they could add it to their nostr experience. The discussion in my relay would be moderated but it can exist alongside whatever ppl prefer to add for themselves.
