No idea what this is about.

Hahahahahahha

It's about someone being censored in a censorship-resistant space getting uncensored because the people spoke out against the centralized censorship of a sovereign individual. It's nostr working as it should for once.

I blocked the guy ages ago, so not sure what's happening - has he been blocked from a particular client or set of relays?

Primal

What, they've hard coded a block on him/prevented his notes from surfacing on the platform?

Yeah apparently

I've been thinking about this, because I see the ongoing arguments over censorship here the last couple of days. The way I'm looking at it; Any client is free to block anyone they like, for any reason they like, just as any relay operators or media service provider. That doesn't prevent someone from posting, or being seen, outside the reach of those blocks. There's nothing to stop someone creating their own client and posting to relays they can use, so really, any censorship as it stands is limited. I limited certain things on Plume, such as the types of videos and images which appear in the 'other stuff' content reeels, in the logged out or logged in view, because I didnt want people's feeds being filled with certain adult content. I don't see that as censorship, since I'm not preventing someone from posting or sharing or being seen by the network overall, but it seems some people here would call that censorship and would be very unhappy about it.

Imho no client should censor… Leave it up to the user…

What if the user wants a client that censors for them?

if they crave censorship-heavy tech that badly that claims to be decentralized, the fediverse and bluesky already exist

Then they should use Facebook or Twitter or whatever else…

I think maximizing for freedom for everyone is the best choice. Then everyone can have what they want. View quoted note → Not that I think primal shouldn't be criticized, I've been outspoken against it for some decisions in the past. People should be free to do that too.

Primal cache is not a client. It's an aggregating server. There is a use case for that, but it's weird that they don't let users choose to add in their own relays directly. Why piss off so many users and get bad press, just to spare one toggle in the settings and about 5 lines of code? Sus.
