At some point it isn't our job. The people of the UK need to see the absurdity and fight for themselves.
Nostr in general is here for them to report abuses without risk of a takedown. It seems they are more likely to be bragging about those abuses than complaining.
A pretty UX that allows them to only talk to their hamster cuddling buddies is higher on the hierarchy of needs so to speak.
Look at it another way. Nostr allows them a place to coordinate to fight to get back their basic freedoms. Once they have their freedoms a regular http site will be a legal and reasonable way to organize a group bike ride again.
Nostr already shows that edge case fights against freedom erosion are its ideal use. Look around at how much trouble we've had attracting content that isn't about bitcoin, anarchy, agorism, privacy, and security. Find another platform as genuinely obsessed with freedom in its general vibe.
Maybe nostr doesn't need to be everything to everyone. It just needs to be big enough and powerful enough to push back hard enough that an old school forum for discussing hamster bedding being illegal would be a joke instead of a reality.
