its clear to me most people do not care about censorship resistance here, but its the only reason im here, and its the most important thing to me. Any attacks against that will be violently criticized. And yes, its more important to me than doxxing the people perpetrating these attacks, Even if it negatively affects my “reputation “ like i give a fuck. People said the same thing to me when i started criticizing primal for censoring users and cried that i was being too mean to them. Boo fucking hoo. If you want censored social media go back to X.

Malicious compliance tech idea: Relay software where you can remove something from your relay while broadcasting that event to a million other known relays. So that if a relay runner ever gets a legal notice that they don't wanna deal with, they delete it but in doing so spread that note so far and wide that it's impossible to censor it, causing a Streisand effect.
What’s done is done, and I appreciate you. It is a difficult balance between privacy and transparency. It is in the public interest to know when developers are receiving censorship requests backed by legal threats. I have always viewed email, text messages, and other written communication as though they could eventually be subject to legal discovery. If your position is important enough that you are willing to put a legal threat in writing and sign your name to it, then you should also be prepared to publicly defend that position.
I was a bit hesitant on this matter. Simply because I firmly believe that whistleblowing comes with risks and responsibilities. To release a document without first reading and redacting where appropriate is not ideal. It increases risk for all involved. However, in your exchange with the requester, his veiled threats became quite obvious «It's not a threat. It's a letter of good faith legally required before taking further actions ». Censorship resistance is why I am here. Without truly decentralized and free communication the « revolution » is doomed. The absurdity of it is this… I would have not known about the allegations made against the requester had he not requested to censor content on a censorship resistant protocol.
Would have been cool if I could have highlighted his quote directly in Damus, copy, paste into the note above and have it link to his original note as an highlight.
Everybody on Nostr wants complete censorship resistance until Nostr punches them in the face. Then they start crying for censorship.
you were an asshole, now you're a defensive asshole. Grinder is an idiot, that doesn't make what you did right. The fact that everybody agrees that what you did is shitty doesn't mean "people don't care about censorship resistance"

Censorship resistance is like a wild diet, unfiltered and unapologetic.

Or, have your legal team do it for you, and stay anon. 😉
I don’t agree with you on many things, and I personally wouldn’t dox someone for something like this, but, I respect that you’re unwilling to bend on this topic.
There are values that one is committed to defending and then there is human kindness and simple courtesy and humanity in the way one can handle upkeeping those values especially when those have not been crossed in any violent way. Being a a total asshole is just that. You could handle your stupid well funded censorship resistant app's customer support tickets with honor and respect to the people using it and in honor of your benefactors whose name is also associated with it. There is a way to say no with respect and then there is a way to doxx and humiliate others which you seem to take incredible amount of pleasure doing. Simple fucking human courtesy in how you engage with others. What you are displaying is that you are not to be trusted with what you have revealed about yourself on your stupid client. You have displayed consistent reactionary behavior and you could have just slept on the fucking letter first and had a grounded response that still honors your stance. I hope you don't have guns and rifles because you surely seem well too hot headed for that power near you. Go eat more LSD maybe. Though the impression that comes through is that maybe dabbling for the first time with psychadelics might have just increased your imagination of being some kind of an enlightened human. Funny thing about nature is... It always seek to achieve and come back to balance. If something gets inflated... Nature doesn't care when it's time for you to fall flat on your face and eat humble shit pie. Stomping around like a careless little boy may feel good for your inflated power hungry ego is entirely incompatible with building censorship restant freedom tech. You are the danger my dear you are the fucking choke point in the field. You and the way you relate and engage are the leakage in the protocol and how you handle pressure tests...

i've made two comments on your posts in all of eternity. why you dating a trans?
I find it interesting how ugly, insecure women use this and think this is an insult. Me and Z are clingy af and madly in love. I couldn’t be happier or less bothered. enjoy being miserable 😘
I care about censorship resistance immensely and its also the only reason I am here. That said there does need to be OPT iN moderation abilities like those on device spamfilters like nspam, shared blocklists, etc. Let the users choose what to block that way so we don't get spammed with things like cp telegram bots. But we don't get things censored we want to see. And then if people disagree on what is being blocked they can just switch to another blocklist or make their own. Or of course opt out entirely and face the bare experience. Its this kinda thing that will ultimately remove the need for relays to do it.
