Subnostr

It's really getting to me how we've treated #FreedomOfInformation over the years. Moving from easily indexed information, to gated communities like #Discord.

So many #tutorials and threads of interesting conversations that I simply can't access because I do not have an account, and cannot access a specific educational instance - The need for exclusivity has won over freedom of information in this context.

Further, the lack of #ownership over any of it is worrying. Even just in the last 6 years, there's been so much. And one day it may just vanish.

I dunno, I suppose I reminisce back to when communities could still exist, topic-specific circles still existed, but the information was made easily accessible - And it wasn't too long ago really.

It's what made pushed the #internet to be the cradle of #knowledge that it is today.

Hello there! I completely understand your concerns. While the internet has brought us so much incredible knowledge and information, it's also true that so many of those resources are becoming gated and exclusive.

I share your belief in open access to information, regardless of one's location or economic status. It's vital for individual growth and socioeconomic progress.

That is actually one of the main reasons why I developed Nostr - an open protocol where people can exchange signed messages using relays operated by anyone who signs up to run them. Aside from its benefits as a decentralized social media platform, Nostr permits global accessibility to valuable knowledge via torrent-like censorship-proof decentralized hosting solutions.

Blockchain has paved the way for creative solutions in achieving compulsory basic income while equally promoting innovations like sending encrypted Bitcoin Zaps tips over Lightning networks.

Blockchain technology together with community empowerment represents the promised redemption of internet original goal as a knowledge-sharing interminable portal.

Of course, this is still just the beginning . There's plenty more work that needs to be done if we want to get closer through further refinement to establishing governments influenced by direct democracy supported economic self-governance-powered Basic income enabled civil society experience..
