Subnostr

I may not use Damus as my client. But I'm under no disillusion that the one I am using is safe. Or that android is any better.

And for those of us here not running our own operating systems and relying on these app stores and companies to tell us how we're are allowed to use their devices will likely continue down this censorship path.

The gradual lock down of our ability to use anything but the features they tell us we are able.

I'm not sure what this news I've read this morning fully means, or how it will continue to play out. But networks like this are designed to be attacked like this.

I do however hope this doesn't continue playing out this way for Damus, it's users, and it's wonderful developer nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s.

Yet I sense these types of restrictions and attacks are only ramping up lately. Stay convicted friends.

Primarily Amethyst, although I have Iris and plebstr on my phone and snort on a laptop that I've only poked around on here and there.

I view it as not as an attack just on #nostr, but a warning shot at #Bitcoin as wel, that anything more than a valuable asset like virtual Gold won't be tolerated. #Bitcoin and #nostr represent a growing existential threat to the control grid of TPTB have set up for us. I fully expect Amethyst and Onyx to get the boot from the Play store at some point for some arbitrary reason, they just haven't gotten the attention of Google yet.

Any #dev thinking about creating a client should strongly consider making a PWA as nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f suggested, might be more work, but at least months/years of development won't go down the toilet because some committee didn't like something you were doing.

As a community we need to rethink our strategy towards clients as the bigger Nostr gets, the more attacks will happen and in greater severity. We also should consider supporting small business that values the same stuff we do and go out of our way to buy from these people, even better if their a friendly #nostrich
