That's different. X silences people via their algorithms. Nostr giving users tools to mute assholes that don't understand what free speech means is the way forward.
You don't have to use those clients or those relays. That's the entire point of Nostr. I'd like to see a client that censors and bans and essentially acts like Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you know the standard stuff of legacy social media, just to show that nostr is censorship resistant and that you don't have to use clients that perform these types of actions.
I just think we need all sorts of clients. Ones that are wide open. Ones that give users a wide variety of control. Ones that filter, whatever you want to call it. Show the full demonstration of the protocol and give users the ultimate choice to what type of experience they would like to have. The more choices we have, the better.
That would probably be client dependent in this type of scenario. But again, that's fine because it demonstrates the openness of the protocol where any client can do whatever they want to do. I think it all comes back to having a wide plethora and wide variety of user choice. Why should what I say or what you say dictate what another user does or how I use another application or how the developer should build the application. I'm all for ultimate user choice and ultimate developer choice. Again, we should have a wide variety of literally everything. Don't get confused by my ramblings or have them be viewed incorrectly. I don't want censorship. I hate censorship but I think some people do and I think some developers do. So, if those clients existed then we will be able to showcase the versatility of Nostr. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Thanks brother.
