the portability of data on nostr is incredibly powerful and we're not ready for it.

restricting access to nostr posts is realistically not possible from a technical standpoint.

the data is just there, undeniable and signed, ready to be relayed endlessly.

and i think this dynamic might not help having actual healthy digital interactions while social tendencies like cancel culture and such are still a thing.

an entire social complexity was developed along legacy social media.

in real life, people make mistakes and they can be forgotten, unlike on social media where people's mistakes are used as weapons, haunting them forever.

the fact that everything is signed and cannot be deemed fake or made up is fascinating.

and that's just proof that this protocol is more aimed towards censorship-resistance rather than a modern day solution to legacy social media.

but the protocol is not to blame in this regard, we, people are.
