Many of the dissident voices that I want to join us here on the #fediverse have now signed a statement they're calling the Westminster Declaration to demand free speech online. Instead of creating an instance here together and joining our movement for independence, they seem to just want to complain that everybody isn't supporting their principles. I checked if westminster dot social was available, but it was bought this year. So hopefully I'm wrong. #LiberalValues

there is a thing called nostr, if you want freespeech use and support nostr, nostr solves freespeech

I'm glad it federates but I don't think it's our best option. your profile id is a bit unwieldy.

it doesnt federate its a bridge, the id looking crazy is a side effect of the current bridge

it really is our best option, it is practically unstoppable speech, hence even though nostr and the fedi are a bit different we can talk

if you care about freespeech seriously learn about nostr

@f17f9f6ff8e3a5ef95bbd20958678b0218df25d253a3485f756d8755e6208ead

does it have any moderation?

no moderation no character limit no email/password say anything you want, its a jungle https://media1.giphy.com/media/kHs1lBhZWaK5rj7lt3/giphy.gif

moderation is great if we can control it and easily move.

on nostr everyone controls moderation how they like

@f17f9f6ff8e3a5ef95bbd20958678b0218df25d253a3485f756d8755e6208ead @c37b6a82a98de368c104bbc6da365571ec5a263b07057d0a3977b4c05afa7e63

they can do that here too (by running your own or joining the dark fedi etc) but is there a way to have someone handle it for you like joining a more moderated instance here? I want there to be more middle ground instances that don't block for bad opinions but does deal with assholes.

i have an account on fedi/masto too i know all about instances blocking each other -its dumb, mods being little dictators none of that on nostr

@c37b6a82a98de368c104bbc6da365571ec5a263b07057d0a3977b4c05afa7e63 @f17f9f6ff8e3a5ef95bbd20958678b0218df25d253a3485f756d8755e6208ead

is this impossible on nostr? or are you just expecting most of the people who like the moderation that also allows for this crap, not to join nostr?

the only moderation is personal block/mute thats it, try it out maybe you like it or you wont 🤷🏻‍♂️

there is more than that, there is delegated distributed moderation via reports, mute lists, web of trust, keywords and some algos, also ip filters

we got lots going on on nostr

onboarding is still rough but the solution to that is obvious with a market of lists and algos with apps using safe defaults for new users

i recommend for nostr amethyst, available in appstores or
