    I don’t disagree with your point, but how do Nostr or Monero play into the article? They aren’t mentioned at all.

      Can’t be kicked off of Nostr and PayPal and other services can’t freeze Monero.

        I see, I thought the finger was aimed at Nostr and cryptocurrencies. As you describe them they sound like the last hiding places for the worst assholes of the internet, and I feel confirmed in staying far away from everything web3/blockchain.
