> Nostr doesn’t have to abandon its cypherpunk principles, but it cannot expect mainstream users to adopt those social habits as a condition of belonging. Whatever happened to freedom of choice?

you can make your own nostr, with blow and hookers if you want to. you can't expect to be the visitor and get house-owner decisionmaking power.

i'm not aware of what this "culture of secrecy" means, that sounds like your misinterpretation of the fact that nostr events are signed and once someone has them, they can be used against you forever.

that's probably why you don't get it. this is not just a "social media" where there is no protection against your mistakes being held as evidence against you forever by anyone at all. at the silos, the enemy is the one whose economic interests align with retention. here, there is no alignment between who keeps the records, the verifiability of the records, and your desire to not have those records be kept.

if you don't like the fact that everything you post on nostr is both provably yours and impossible to stop from being kept as part of court-grade evidence against you, then you know what to do.
