Platforms, not protocols: a VC approach to free speech
Josua Schmid profile picture
Not so wrong if the platforms are local and controlled by the ones living around them.
But you still need the foundation of protocols like human dignity and respect.
With online platforms compared to offline the problem (and advantage) is that they are not local.

What do you think of introducing some artificial locality into nostr? We could reduce the spam problem by some proximity measure like attaching a “place” to an npub. Screaming to the other side of the world could be considered spammy if you didn’t move your npub first.

I always hoped that kind of thing would be done by relays. Relays can be easily be local. Well, in fact Japanese relays already block anyone that isn't Japanese.
