It's *really* long.
It starts out by highlighting times when Substack mentions were censored under Musk's ownership. Even liking certain posts was blocked.
It talks about how censorship was present in the COVID area, and still exists now. It highlights that censorship can come from both the left and right, especially when thinking in a global context.
It points out that Twitter has *increased* compliance with overall government takedown requests under current management. Many of which from Turkey or India. It questions the ethics of this. If your only business, maybe you fight back, as old-Twitter did. But if you primarily sell rockets and cars and your side project is social media, maybe you censor for strongmen to sell them rockets and cars.
It highlights when Musk was ratioed on the H1B debate, and blocked that account and changed the algorithm. It takes no stance on that debate; just highlights the arbitrary centralized censorship.
It then talks about NOSTR's qualities, and admits what while I might not know the best architecture in absolute, NOSTR is the best architecture that I personally know, and that I invite people to participate in open source social media.
There are various screenshots and memes to evidence or highlight the points therein.
