Hacker News Reader

exactly. when I see "censorship-resistant," I hear "we don't have a way to control abuse on this platform."

Or "this platform was explicitly designed to host abusers".

When I see "censorship-resistant," I read "I can call someone the n-word and not get banned for it."

Seems like an acceptable position to take until you find yourself outside of the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

Personally, I don't mind having to manually filter/ignore non-conformant behavior in order to prevent that possibility for myself and any other minority group online.

Customized chains of trusts can be created too. Where you could choose either directly who you want to read, or who you trust to "whitelist" people, so you can have censorship but you can choose your own censors.

That's fine, nobody is taking Facebook and Twitter away if you enjoy those, just opening up new spaces.
