This! Nostr’s freedom is for resisting tyranny and creating a commons that isn’t owned by a corporation or government. It’s freedom to control our own public spheres. Freedom to set norms that make sense to different communities who have different standards. It is not freedom so that you can be an asshole where you impose harassment on people. You’ve got the right to speech but nobody has the obligation to listen to you, display your content in their clients, host your content on relays, or quietly leave your content unlabeled/reported.

Neo-liberals always think they get to define what and who freedom is for. Which is why they always end up tyrannical fascists in the end.

Free speech is for everyone. The public square is not inside a corporation owned by government pension fund managers, traded on an SEC regulated stock exchange, and managed by a board of directors with a background in foreign intelligence.

I don't think framing ideas we disagree with as unworthy of freedom is productive, but I definitely agree that the goal should be creating communities that can set their own standards! This is basicaly the point of Ditto. I wrote about how it works here if anyone is curious: https://soapbox.pub/b...

Well said.

"Nobody has the obligation to display your content in their clients"? The client has the obligation to do what the user wants it to do, not what its dev finds appropriate. You are advocating for censorship, you want to "resist tyranny" by imposing your own tyranny. That's not how this works.
