You need a law to remove teachers from jobs because we gave up on our rights to establish contracts between two people without state interference so every full time employee is protected like an endangered spicies by their socialist government. If we lived in a free society the employment is terminated on the spot and the person escorted out of the building. Because it would be a breach of contract. Managing speech by law is how samurai wallet devs end up in prison. Its not the words, its the intent thats problematic. And protecting the most vulnerable is the most abused rethoric ever. Oh its only to protect the minories. Government is not there to protect you. We have endless amount of laws to protect the children and yet plenty of them are suffering. We just need one more rule right? That will stop everything.

what drives me crazy is not being able to see a content of a thread in any nostr client

yeah i know but only if you go to the thread, you cannot get to this view from the notification which seems like a big miss , why only show the direct parent to the comment without the ability to expand to the entire thread from notification?

you also didn't answer the first part of that - which dystopian governmental overreach you're advocating for that would solve that particular problem? if a teacher is doing it in public then remove the teacher? if it happens in private you can't do anything about it anyway so your problem is just a mental masturbation to create public outrage because of course every measure taken is there to protect the poor kid. Even tho the kid will still get fucked, equally it not more. Except that his cousin will also end up in jail because he tweeted about something you dont like. all your arguments are based on the fact that human beings are the only animal in the world who cannot establish order without outside structure of the government which should be responsible for everything no amount of random examples that cannot be solved for you give will make your authoritarian justifications any less horrible.

gotta love nostr, at least 3 changes to products happening real time from this thread based on the feedback devs got from users i guess you can also just complain* and things get done? :D *provide constructive feedback

i'm gonna show you something that seems unobtainium in nostr world - thread rendering and scrolling is fucking goat, kudos to

So we need the nanny state because humanity is weak? Laws don't prevent harmful action, they just standardize the consequence and centralize the enforcement of it. No law will ever prevent parents teaching harmful action to kids. Also no law will ever prevent domestic abuser to hit his wife. Or whatever example you want to give. There also used to be places in the world where I wasn't worried after every boarder crossing if I said something that offends the current regime in the western democracies enough to try to jail me for it. Jailing people for wrong speak will not create a strong culture of kindness, just a culture of fear. Which is what is already happening all around europe. With your reasoning we need to also police the thoughts (which you are effectively arguing for anyway) because thoughts can hurt you too. Imagine thinking something bad and getting upset by it? They should put you in jail because you're mentally harmful to yourself... In a strong culture a man harassing kids gets punched in the face. Not written a citation for using words that hurt someones feelings because they grew up raised by snowflake parents who need their government to protect them from people who have opinions different than their favorite tiktoker.

gotta love the 10am lunch 😂 looks delicious tho

What about if we teach kids (and adults) that words can't hurt them and that listening to every asshole they meet is a waste of life and time. Instead of trying to control the actions of other (which is essentially what the argument of "some speech is harmful to me") lets teach ourselves that our reactions to whatever has been said gives the words power. Same goes with powerful speeches that moved events in history. The speech itself might have inspired, motivated or enraged the masses, but it didnt kill anyone. People did. Its the same argument as guns - they dont kill people. People kill people. Because they choose to act. I can tell you every bad word in existence and you will not be harmed. You can choose to ignore me, go away, you can punch me in the face if I come to close or I'm harrassing your kids or wife in public. But I can say the most vile thing under the sun. I dont nees to be listened to. I don't need to be accepted to bars or restaurants if i spit out garbage and annoy people. I dont need to be given attention, audience or anything else, I cant demand anything of anyone else. But I can say whatever the fuck I want.

TIL #meme

in which dystopia do you want to live that would solve for that? You have the same reasoning as every paper pusher gives for chat control or anything else. pick an extreme case that is completely unpreventable by law unless everyone is monitored 24/7/365 and denied any private thought and freedom of speech. Bad things will always happen. Bad people will always be around. You cannot outlaw human nature. Laws only constrain and limit good actors, not bad ones. People wanting to talk shit will always talk shit. You will only punish and imprison the ones who expressed an opinion that isn't aligned with your current narrative and approved by your state's thought police.

No, what i'm proposing is that we don't trade our freedom for the pinky promise that someone in a uniform will come to save me from the people saying bad things about me. And for communities to self regulate on bullshit like this.

with the exception of being a web client. i do wish for a web version of amethyst tho
