Freedom of speech means freedom to offend, to speak your mind, to say something stupid, to state something that's wrong. It means freedom to joke, freedom to make fun of an enemy, freedom to insult a friend. Freedom to tell those who are in power that they can go fuck themselves.
Yes, but pseudonymity only allows you to say β€œillegal things” without getting caught. The goal is to make it illegal to punish people for speech and for that you need enough people to say things under their real names. I have no problem with people saying things without getting caught, but IMO the ethos that ends this is enough people with their real names attached telling them to fuck off.
Yeah, there are cases where it’s necessary obviously. But IMO too many people only speaking up pseudonymously when it’s not yet necessary abdicates the fight and makes it more likely that it becomes necessary. It’s game theory. Speak up now under your real name, take a small risk, but if everyone does it, you win. Keep quiet under your real name now (no risk), but if everyone does that, the censor wins.
On nostr you have the freedom to call people retards, couldn't do that on Facebook, Very little political discourse or discussion on here though, say something people disagree with and they don't respond. Don't see any journalists, flash is the only account that even shares news that isn't run by a bot. But I expected there to be a lot of anarchists on here people sharing news, journalists sharing footage directly under pseudoanonymous accounts from places it's not safe. Expected there to be preppers posting anonymous photos of their weapons in their bunkers saying shit like "I'll kill any federal agent that tries to take them" I know it's still early as people say, maybe I need more patience, maybe I need to look harder, nostr is mostly just Bitcoin nerds, people living alternative lifestyles. Altogether, at least in my experience so far, it has been a very educational space, learning about bitcoin, learning about ai, learning about nostr itself, other protocols and programs, have so much catching up to do. I've already gotten so much out of the platform, I believe it will grow with all these social media laws being created against western citizens.
