hh on Nostr: I would hope that Durov's arrest became a warning for the obtuse Nostr devs, relay ...
I would hope that Durov's arrest became a warning for the obtuse Nostr devs, relay runners, and "Never Elon" cheerleaders who insist that Nostr must have "content moderation" for this reason or that reason.
There you have it. That's what "common sense content moderation" gets you -- if you can do a little bit of it, they will demand that you do ALL of it, or throw you in jail. They WILL.
Nostr relays must RELAY, that's all. Storage is a massive threat too and should be removed from the equation if you want relays to be safe to run. And let's be real: even then, it WON'T be safe to run a Nostr relay if a state actor decides to go after you. But if will obviously be safe-R if you lack any sort of technical ability to censor and to store content that they can throw back at you.
Unfortunately, I'm quite sure they will interpret it exactly the other way around, and double down in their idiocy.
