Nostr fans don’t realize that their criticisms of ActivityPub can also be applied to Nostr.
Nostr fans: Unlike ActivityPub, I can’t get banned on Nostr.
Me: Yes, you can through relays.
Nostr fans: I’ll still have my account.
Me: Doesn’t matter if relay admins share block lists. Now your account is orphaned.
Nostr fans: But Nostr’s culture is anti-moderation.
Me: Which attracts spam.
Nostr fans: Then pay for a spam-free relay.
Me: But I can also pay for my own ActivityPub server.
