Free speech definitely not permitted.
Not Lemmy. I get moderated quite a lot :)
Please define “free speech”. Thx.
Free but accountable speech. Nobody should want a forum without moderation, it would be a toxic mess.
Nostr is absolutely unfiltered and it shows. Not for the feint of heart.
Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of it but never tried it.
Does it at least have easy ways for users to filter what they don’t want? E.g. block lists that users can subscribe to.
No, AFAIK you can just follow or block users and then get a feed of the followed.
Also you get a feed of replies to your posts.
It also has an NSFW flag. In the Yana client it’s called “Automatically open sensitive content”. It will then show a button, instead of loading things the author flagged sensitive.’
I seem to receive messages in all languages as well. Some have interesting pics of burnt cars.
Spam about a once in a lifetime opportunity for generational wealth via an investment into PooPooCoin?
Yeah, that’s the most dominant, but also sometimes nazi shit and the worst kinds of porn. Oh and I just had a guy eating raw meat and another one hit someone in the head from behind with some sort of tool. No idea what it was about, because I didn’t speak that language.
‘Free speech’ around here is still dependent on the mods, exactly like it was in Reddit.
