This article is from half a year ago. Why share now? Random or coincidence.

That seems to be the end game. Increase regulations without decreasing them > regulatory capture > big corporations own / operate everything, nothing local / no small businesses.

It's a sad story all round. I hope the world gets more decentralised, so that people get less caught up in the politics of others. I can't remember the exact quote, about world war 1 or 2, but it was along the lines of "war i

> All sanctions are designed to hurt civilians, so that they may overthrow their government. That requires some blind faith to believe. In that I don't think those applying them really expect overthrowing the government to result. I

I suspect a reason for sanctions is that it allows the government applying them to look like they're doing something to their voters. It's an effective way of scoring points without spending any resources. They know they're i

in seeking to make a point of hypocrisy and bias - that diverts from the original point instead of refuting it, thus it has no merit. 'xyz is also doing bad things' just gives us n+1 of xyz, but says nothing about xyz.

It's an open protocol, nobody controls it so nobody gives permission to what you can build. Both in terms of apps/clients that make use of nostr, and also custom primitives to add into nostr. The protocol itself is permissionless.

That's for sure how it is right now. A mix of early adopter techy types. In this case (nostr.com) it's just a website, and not actually apart of nostr. In the same way that weather.com isn't a spokesperson for the weather

Welcome in this context means you can use it the same as anyone. There is no everyone, nostr is just tech.

Is there a point you're making, or question?

by t1E9mE7JTRjf 1y ago
I think you miss the point. On Nostr because technology is apolitical, you can be anything you want - political or not. A draw for some is exactly that; if they've been de-platformed elsewhere for political views, on nostr that can&#x2

> Do you wanna change social media? Try and find and effective way to bring them down. That's basically the point of nostr.

What I would consider is that nostr doesn't show you content. The content you see is a function of: 1. The people you follow 2. The relays you read from 3. The clients (apps) you use I can't think of any clients which surface weir

What relays were you on? I have never seen CP on nostr. Did you start off following the crypto spammer mentioned or that was just what caused you to find nostr? I'd be curious how you built your initial follow list, as that and the rel

I would interpret it as anyone is welcome. The only barrier to entry is an internet connection, and even that is needed for just part of your experience. I'd guess it's context is the censorship seen in the last decade on most so

This is a valid observation and hurdle of sorts. One to me, which is a fascinating problem to work on. There are a few approaches to solve this. For instance NIP65, where one defines on their profile meta which relays they read/write t

That's more or less how nostr works, except instead of websites there are notes (a generic type which can be anything - including website content), and instead of servers there are 'relays'.

There is a world outside of USA, and there is even a world within it too - where you can just do things.

You're missing the point if you are evaluating it by looking at random facets like JSON and hashes. Nostr is an interoperable data layer. Anyone can build on it, and users don't get locked in, since the data layer is separate from

How a person feels is also a fact. I wonder if you are being selective in facts, as I'm not sure it's a politic (ie left/right matter). We could also look at facts on crime, tax contributions/burdens, etc and see a diff
