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 didn’t agree. A decentralized body reports an explicit grift, scam, or even a derogatory message (let’s 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 it’s important to have freedom from censorship… to an extent. But also the real world has enough nutters to realize that you can’t go whole hog on being censorship free. Finally. I’d 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
