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.
