Why I think Nostr is an alternative to people under autocratic regimes like Venezuela:

1) Inmune to Regime Control and censorship, so if the regime blocks social media (like it happened with X in Venezuela 6 months ago), Nostr cannot be blocked.

2) Decentralized and each user will own their account and followers.

3) Nostr is also a payment rail in BTC. This is KEY for freedom activists and regular citizens. At some point billions of $ of remittances will be able to be sent directly, fast and mega low cost.

4) Nostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom.

5) expanding the community of Nostr people under autocratic regimes will be going to the frontline in the fight for freedom. There will be lots of learning and action.

It is a no brainer for content creators and activists ... for the rest there is no incentive ..

Common person is attracted to new interface - not the ideals of #protocol . Unfortunately all the clients are replicating the existing platforms in terms if interface.. normal X user has no reason to come to nostr ..

In the early days of tw and many other social media there was no incentive to join, until there was.

Are you serious .. I joined twitter in 2007 .. it was such a novel thing .. and then using texting as a tweet was even more exciting cuz not many had smart phone .. what is new in nostr from user excitement standpoint ? .... it is a great protocol but all the clients are slam dunk of existing interfaces .. unless we discover something new from user experience standpoint , nostr is just a backend ...

That said , I am hopeful ..cuz upuntill now the protocol was a paradigm shift even for devs .. I am sure they will discover a cool interface .. new devices .. new processes .. gamechanger is still not here !

it's true, here is a lot of difference with any social media like X, Instagram, etc. but also is a combo as you describe it, here are a lot of content (including +18)

Your self-criticism is impeccable! I think exactly the same! This network is completely free, it gives priority to those who need it most and in the process they learn to use the platform and interact without fear.

There is still ISPs and DNS providers, to access the internet and also most clients will have their clients attached to a doimain... is there any .onion clients or other ways to overcome this layers that could censor access? nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc

Relays with onion addresses could help to keep it online and also protect people from retaliation in hostile environment.

Well said

great

I hope I will live to see Venezuela free from the dictatorship ๐Ÿ™Œ

Lol immine to censorship? Iris and amethyst ar shadow banning users as we speak

Also , many wot relays algorithms are censoring users based on the reports their followers make on other users

Bro you are not sensored, people just ignore you. Even if those clients โ€œshadow banโ€ you, you can still be around and replay to people. Thatโ€™s the joke of all of these, even if groups avoid you, they can not totally delete you from here.

Stop being retarded.

You missed all the evidence directly from the Amethyst dev

I saw the convo with Vitor. You can be seen on those clients actually. I think you donโ€™t know what shadowbanned means. Or donโ€™t understand the implications of being actually banned.

Uh ... Yes ... You missed the entire point

You need to turn off security filters

Its on by default

No clear explanation to what it does

Yeah it's a family friendly app, stopp beeing butthurt

You just don't get it.

Using Amethist is like using google mail.

Google mails agressive 'sorting'/filtering doesn't apply to every mail, 'cause it's a protocoll.

Choose another mail client if you don't like gmail.

Choose another client if you don't like Amethyst.

Fuck I believe in users responsibility, not in cared thinking.

Love it. Thank you #Nostr for giving us a voice ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’œ

El problema con nostr es que en sitios donde el internet no es bueno consume muchos datos. No se si es el caso en Venezuela, pero puedo imaginar que es asi

Awesome.

Are you still "fighting for democracy"?

Have you not seen yet that Bitcoin works precisely because it's absolutely non democratic essence?

Have you not seen yet that every democracy evolves into a dictatorship?

Why does democracy evolve into a dictatorship?

Because of the incentives at play. The game theory of democracy prevents the system for resulting in any other outcome.

So what do you suggest?

(there is also the ignorance and complacency Democracy creates)

Nostr is widely used in China.

Of course, not much due to limitations, but there is plenty of Chinese in Nostr.

Even people who disagree with you politically should back what you say about NOSTR 100%.

Is no one paying attention?

We were all living under autocratic regimes.

The entirety of most we know is complete propaganda. They got caught.
