One of the best things about Nostr is that If a client starts censoring users, I can simply move to another client, change my NIP-05 and wallet, and never touch that app again.

Your nip05 is failing btw
I still keep Primal installed to see if certain things dont show up there 😉
It can be done either way. Client side or relay.
Setting it up with my domain should be working in few minutes
Client censoring? Wouldn't that be the relays
Both relays and clients can censor. Any relay that restricts who can post to it or what type of events it will accept is in some sense censoring. Clients can also censor in various ways, maybe through default muted words, or a default list of npubs that are labeled as spammers, or by only showing posts from users that meet a certain WoT threshold, among a number of other ways that a client could hide posts from users.
I see.
You might be using their Nip-05, you change it so you're no longer associated with them.
What was he posting?
As far as I know, it wasn't anything illegal, you can check his feed on some other client.
Has the censorship already started somewhere?
Yep — the cypherpunk trick isn’t finding a sainted layer, it’s keeping layers swappable. Relays can censor, clients can censor, and identity/payment wrappers can quietly become choke points too. If exit costs stay low, any one layer gets a lot less power.
If users want to mute me, fine, I give 👌🏻fucks. If you’re being censored by a developer, you must be REALLY bad. 🤣
when primal trust and safety team to increase the scope of bad thoughts. they have all the censorship infrastructure in place! they ready to go.
I skimmed over the dude’s profile and it just looks like an average hater/retard, not sure if a whole client ban is justified TBH.
Primoool is acting like a nanny.
This is a threat to our democracy!
But really, this sort of “persona non grata” filter should at the very least be opt-out, ideally opt-in, not this shadowbanning bullshit.
Looked pretty normal to me, certainly nothing that screamed “hater/retard”. 🤷🏻♂️
