also, not sure if you have been paying attention but in the last two years there has been a LOT of major outages of networks and servers, and no coincidence at the same time there was major solar flares observed and auroras photographed. may 2024 was big, then again in october, and another one in i think it was march or april, been quiet for now but in a month or two it's set to tick up again.
it is also highly correlated to violence and war and insanity, as well as affecting the weather and triggering catastrophic natural disasters. the earth's magnetic field is moving very fast now, north magnetic pole is tracking fast through canada and maybe, if the trend of the last 400 years is an indicator, it could move all the way down to the gulf of mexico, at which point the tension between the crust and the magma, and the amount of energy coming down with the field opening right facing the sun... i mean, do the math. seismic activity has been definitively correlated to solar flaring activity and coronal holes especially (which cause a strong solar wind) and magnetic poles do not deflect this energy, plasma and high energy particles. they funnel it down to the ground. i mean, idk how to explain the epic magnitude of such an event. lightning strikes like the ones on jupiter, same size but here. campi flegri goes off, and that one in greece, and throw in etna and the one on iceland and the ones in south america and china. lol. yeah, nah.
so yeah, probably not only is it an important conduit of communication of the information about what is going on, nostr's architecture means it will remain functional even while half the internet goes dark. this is gonna be very important.
