this sounds dangerously like advocating for protocol level censorship of accounts. protocol level censorship is bad. period. no one should be given those powers. remember, @geoffgolberg they used these powers to kick you off of X.

Are we mixing up centralized censorship and decentralized censorship? i.e. A centralized body kicks @geoffgolberg off of X because they didnāt agree. A decentralized body reports an explicit grift, scam, or even a derogatory message (letās say using the n word for example, or videos depicting murder, rape, etc. Example: a friend of mine showed me a video her now ex husband showed her of a woman being beheaded with a machete. Censorship free (no censorship on a protocol level) would mean this would be avail on farcaster. Good idea? Bad idea? Dunno. Yes, i understand that itās important to have freedom from censorshipā¦ to an extent. But also the real world has enough nutters to realize that you canāt go whole hog on being censorship free. Finally. Iād venture a moment to say spam labels can be a bit of censorship if you think about it. (Squint, look sideways) Not necessarily saying I am For protocol level censorship, but I would be for a community grown sort of censorship.

pointed question ------------> does that look different than keeping him from attending FarCon events? I don't mean at a nuanced level. I mean at a lived experience level, and people looking from the outside

Good question. I guess thatās going to be the kicker. Is Geoff being censored by not going? It would be helpful to know what happened before all of the shenanigans. Long story short. It needs a better understanding of how people were picked to go. Also, why people who may not be 100 percent positive towards farcaster (but not completely negative) were not able to go. My comments about censorship are more broad than farcon.
