Owen on Nostr: If "the dream" of free speech means I have to be completely anonymous, then I'm out - ...
If "the dream" of free speech means I have to be completely anonymous, then I'm out - I'll just live in a hut in the woods.
The real dream is being able to speak my mind -as myself, if I choose - without censorship. Sure, they can try to silence me by throwing me in jail, but they can't lock up everyone - we'll just keep finding ways to relay and rebroadcast our messages.
Having the option to post anonymously is important, but it's not the ultimate goal - or at least, that's not how I understood it.
