Do we all agree that X is now state-"owned" media again?

LOL

Owned and used by evil people with no morals. This is a cautionary tale for freedom tech.

🤡

I dream of a world where women aren’t threatened and called names online for having a contrary opinion.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m do we all agree???

Huge opportunity to orange pill people on the left …

Thought they moved to Bluesky

Damn, we’ll have to go get them and bring em here

Not all of them… I think the BlueSky folks are more performative and like interacting with ‘famous’ people. The lefty anarchists are mostly on the Fediverse, or at least they should be.

It’s called BS for a reason…

Even the people we might not like should be on here

Agreed. I count my self among the left leaning anarchists and it’s rather uncommon round these parts but I also appreciate views different from my own.

Or do we have a media-owned state now?

definitely doing some parallel play with the state

No we don’t agree. Twitter was state owned under Jack. Did you not see the “Twitter Files”? Do you not remember the mass banning of conservatives on Twitter leading up to the 2016 election?

Aaron Swartz and some guy?

Some guy? Yeah that guy is ... Sam Altman. In his defense his name kind of speaks for itself. 🤣🤣🤣

Same as Diddy …. And others

The shilling of trump and elon and neocon pro-isreal is insane right now

Ahahah true

Centralized mega-media always has to collude with the government, at some level, to stay in business. NY Times, Facebook, and Washington Post are also like that.

We shouldn't discount Elon wanting to end the constant, punitive lawsuits from the federal government.

Yes we 💯 agree. The owner itself is a state owned asset.

Elon wouldn't be in this position without enormous government subsidies.

Nah, campaign assistance always came from private lobbying.

Always has been

Absolutely and the bitcoiners eating it up on there have lost their way.

What happened?

Nostr is the place to be. There is no second best.

Musk is a net negative for humanity. He holds too much power, and there’s no such thing as “good power.”

Alex's book, the Bushido of Bitcoin discusses this with an interesting take.

his pod with Peter McCormack from the summer is fantastic.

he essentially says that it is untrue that all power corrupts,

it's that "mostly" only corrupt people pursue power in the first place.

True heroes don't care about fame or power because it comes so naturally to them.

was an interesting take that sounds a lot like Elon.

🌼

Will definitely listen that episode, thank you for the info!

at least Elon is opposite direction power - positive for a new balance

I think its a bit disingenuous to compare old left wing Twitter and their cooperation with government censorship, and new Twitter with its free speech and all are welcome philosophy. Surely that is more important than what affiliations certain staff have.

😄 But open source at least.

And it sounds like Elon wants to open source most of the government...

key word: most

Yes, the cognitive dissonance of the simps is amazing to watch.

We will see

That makes sense. 🤔

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau, I want to make my master degree final project on nostr-related area. Can you propose an interesting topic of research or suggest an idea to work on?

Which area of research are you in? Computer science? Cryptography?

System programming, I must create a final project, implement it, defend it, show how it works and why is a good alternative to what we have.

I was thinking implementing a nostr-relay, but I think there are already many good ones (maybe we can do more, but I don't see it), maybe a marketplace, some nwc new ideas, idk. I wish I could find something exciting, because I must work on the project for almost one year, so, I want to choose right, to use that time and effort studying something that worth it for me.

yes. without a doubt. it's literally owned by someone that works for the us goverment.

Sorta

When you say state-"owned" are you referring to deep state three letter agency owned? Or is it more owned by a state positioned oligarch with a politically skewed algorithm?

Owned by a private investor who happens to have a political opinion (like all humans) and is willing to help the government for free!!!... does not make X a media puppet of the state.

So no. Your assessment is False for me !!

Trump administration hasn't started yet. X is a collection of various view points, many retarded many in good taste. It would be my go-to state sponsored media platform by far.

There is an eternal battle between the flourishing human spirit enunciated in the individual, a divine aspect and those who hate God and wish to subvert the eternal eschaton for the temporal one dreamed up by satan and his slaves. X (formerly twitter) is a algorithmically curated platform, boosting and dismissing ideas encoded in strings of characters, images and videos produced by mostly first world users in this battle. The real question is, is the algorithm set by those with divine right to rule, or those usurping the will of God, participating in their hellbound reiteration of man's original sin? There is no meme. I love you.

X has owned the state

and i have plan

Must be because Elon is US Gov employee 😂

Always has been...

No offense intended to Jack or Rabble...
