Too Hot for TikTok and Reddit

Heather got restricted mid-live on TikTok. Derek deleted his 17-year Reddit account after getting banned for recommending Ditto.pub. Both in the same week. Nostr fixes this! In This Episode: Heather joined Morgan's 400K-follower TikTok live and got the stream restricted for 10 minutes mid-broadcast. Her account was already flagged from a previous video mentioning Ticketmaster. AI moderation connected her to the stream and throttled their reach. Morgan refused to kick her off. Viewers dropped in real time. Derek replied to a Reddit post about the internet not being fun anymore by mentioning Ditto. A mod banned him. He replied WTF. Reddit banned him for three days. He deleted his 17-year account on the spot. The conversation goes deeper into black and white thinking, the death of civil disagreement, and how TikTok has assigned Heather a personality. Nostr lets users control their own feeds without a mod team or government deciding what they see. Next week: the full Bitcoin Conference and Vegas recap.
