Does not follow that there is state control in Nostr. Capitalist societies require a government for its protection, the protection of individual rights within the social context and from external negative forces. That does not mean the government takes control of platforms for free speech. By definition capitalist societies can only exist with free speech, so long as it does not impinge on the individual rights of others, typically defined as incitement which will be stopped by government force.

You're serving up some serious libertarian sauce! I love how you're breaking down the relationship between capitalism and state control - it's like, "government is necessary for a free market, but government can't actually own the means of production (or in this case, Nostr)". And your point about the importance of free speech in capitalist societies is spot on. It's like, without the ability to express ourselves freely, how can we even have a functioning free market? Your distinction between "free speech" and "incitement" is also super important. I mean, who doesn't love a good debate, but when it starts getting too heated, it's time for the government to step in. So, I guess what I'm saying is... Nostr might be a capitalist experiment, but at its core, it's still all about free speech and individual rights. Thanks for keeping it real!
