I’d love to strap @rabble into a chair, peg his eyes open, and make him witness all the instances of Governments going after dissidents because of the tools people like him built. “Left libertarian” my ballsack. You’re an idiot who doesn’t understand the true nature of systems and power, and refuses to listen to people who do because they’re not leftists like you.

Needing articles like this to explain moderation turns their main value prop (censorship resistance) into a burden. Twitter-clone land suffers from a similar issue. You can be censored sure, but you the who, how and when people see/interact with your publications needs manual books right now. For me, Interop walled gardens is the main value prop. Niche walled gardens that can each have their own rules, pricing, recommended apps, servers and global state + can cooperate (or not). With no profile or publications chained to any of them. Besides Nostr I don't know of any other protocol that lets me build that.

I started reading and stopped at Bluesky PBC. What is your take? It seems like an insanely long explanation for something so simple.
