Primal has censored all my comments where I argued against supporting regime change in Venezuela (except one) under one of their developers posts, advocating for regime change
Nobody should use this company and they should be considered hostile to the protocol

How did they censor you? Do you get some error when submitting a note using Primal? Did it not broadcast to some specific relays?
Primal reads notes from their caching server as opposed to relays, so theyre able to determine what their users see
i see all your posts on primal


Its not ALL my posts. Its specifically targeting posts criticizing US regime change in Venezuela
For instance, I have dozens of comments under this primal developers post. Do you see more than the two?
"I see all your posts"
Posts the exact top of my profile lmao excellent research there
i see that tooβ¦


Yes, that is the one comment I was referring to it showing previously lol
And even if it wasnt, numerous other people verified it didnt load on primal
What does it matter if they quietly fixed it after I made a stink about it?
Oh lemme guess, youre an investor lmao
i donβt hide that fact, nor the fact that im heavily involved in development of primal
what are the noteids or nevents of the βcensored notesβ
Dude look through my posts, I provided all of that. And others verified it also didnt load for them.
Your investment is a danger to the protocol
What are the censored event IDs?
Seems fine now (conveniently), but it was basically all the dozens of comments under this post as well as an article I posted from the Grayzone about Venezuelas US backed opposition. Nothing else was affected
The post where dozens of my comments are quietly censored

it's irrelevant if they censored this guy or not
what matters is that they can
Yea Im convinced by what I saw, but that is absolutely the real issue. Sacrificing censorship resistance for UX (and presumably compliance) is a slippery slope that you cant just "use another client" away. Although thankfully we always have that power. I certainly dont use them myself, I never even would have known if others didnt bring it to my attention that these posts werent loading on primal
Then it only took a second of looking at primal to realize the pattern
You sound like a fucking blowhard. Nobody cares. Post whatever you want.
Believe it or not, a lot of people on nostr care about censorship resistance. Especially when it comes to censoring dissent from state propaganda
I appreciate that you got triggered enough to comment though
First note on your account was zionist disinformation about the Bondi terrorist attack...
The man who disarmed one of the Indian terrorists was himself a Muslim from Syria.
Maybe stop getting your information about Australia directly from Benjamin Netanyahu?
Also, you don't have to censor the word terrorist on nostr.
You can say whatever you like here, retard.
Who censored the word terrorist? I sure didnβt. I also know the guy was a Muslim. You know it too. But youβre so brainwashed you think Muslim is a country.
Thereβs no censorship. Thatβs the point. And even if there was nobody fucking cares enough about you to censor anything you say you narcissistic retard
Youβre an example of why Aus is cooked. Leftists cucks that canβt even admit the terrorist was a Muslim. Fucking sad. Hopefully the strong men of Aus ignore weak ass fags like yourself
I don't call people who blow up abortion clinics to kill innocent people Christians either.
You're out here peddling Israeli propaganda against Australia, trying to sow division and hate against innocent people to make Australian society worse for Australians.
How does ot serve you?
As far as I can see the only people who benefit by turning Australians against each other are the ones bleeding us, because if Australia was united Israel wouldn't have the power they have over us.
As for the strong men of Aus, we're the ones saying fuck you zionist scum.
Attacking leftists for being anti Israel isn't going to win you any points.
The left and the right are united on this one.


It's ok if you made a typo, you could have just said it was a typo instead of getting defensive about it.


Obvious itβs a typo. While youβre at, go fetch me a coffee if youβre going to be my spelling bitch
If a Muslim attacks innocent people in your country based on their religious prejudices then it damn well fucking matters that they are Muslim. Thatβs not propaganda. Itβs the opposite. Itβs called truth. Ignoring truth so you do t offend Muslims is the kind of appeasement that has your country cooked. Youβre allowing an entire culture that is obviously incompatible with your own countryβs culture and values to try and coexist. Itβs stupid and shit like this will continue to happen. And youβll keep apologizing for them. Sad
You live in a binary world. I donβt like Israel. I donβt like Islam either. Both can fuck off. But Iβm not going to pretend the attacker wasnβt Muslim. Thatβs the very definition of propaganda. Ask the one alive if heβs Muslim - what will he say? Yet your appeasing ass will claim heβs not. You can fuck off with that
As for you being a βstrong man of AUSβ - I highly doubt that. My guess is youβre one of the many childless, godless, unmarried people that havent accomplished much of anything nor own anything. Thatβs the MO for leftists and Muslim apologists of which you are both
Using a centralized server sided instance defeats the purpose of a decentralized platform. I don't know if they actually censor your stuff or not since I don't use them for this exact point of failure. Using decentral clients with a decent amount of relays prevents it entirely. I can see every post in the thread you linked.
I just compared your posts on Primal and Damus for the last week and they match. You need to provide screenshots as proof.
Follow the comments. Other people verified and confirmed, the issue was there until somebody manually rebroadcast those notes to Primals caching server. I dont really care if you believe me or not lol
Nostr is absolutely not censorship-resistant, but it's your own fault for using Primal. You might as well have posted that on BlueSky.
Read before commenting lol I dont use Primal. And nostr is absolutely censorship resistant if done properly. You can always run your own relay if needed

Have you read Primal's ToS or policy?
Ah i was wonder how long it would take for this to happen.
Just logged into Primal, I'm seeing all your posts. It seems like that'd be an odd topic to have one off censorship on. Do you think there's a chance that they just failed to broadcast to the Primal relay, and now that people are talking about it, they've been re-broadcast? I believe you when you say they were missing earlier, but it doesn't look like anything's being actively censored (from what I can see anyway).
Thats covered in the comments. They likely removed the relevant notes from their caching server (primal reads notes from there, not relays), so their users werent able to see it. Then they were rebroadcat and now theyre available. Everything is visible now, but multiple people confirmed these notes wouldnt load specifically in primal
And I dont think it sounds a weird topic at all to censor if youre a shirtless Primal surfer bro dev thats easily susceptible to propaganda, and you think youre doing something good by making it to your users cant see this "dangerous information"
So something is *definitely* up
I did a speed test and I'm at a 290 Mbps but (1) your profile isn't loading without hiccups (2) I tried to like a post of your's 6 times before it appeared (3) for some reason, the relays are surely slower.
I'm guessing it's coz I'm also on Primal?
An asynchronous network of ad hoc relays might just appear to be censoring you β¦ for a bit
