GitHub comments seem to love Australia. Lots of consensus for Australia it seems.

That's just ausies pumping on GH, most folks don't participate on gihub.
I live in the USA and I voted for Nostralia. Don’t trust, verify.
Man, remember when Australia imprisoned Novak Djokovic for not wanting to bend the knee? They literally put the world's healthiest human in a cage for "health reasons". Now it's obvious that he was on the right side of history, but we still haven't seen an apology. That, plus the whole "five eyes" thing doesn't make Australia too appetizing for me.
Just my 2 sats.
It sounds like Australia might need Nostr the most then?
To be clear, I don't care where we go. I'll be there no matter what.
You are prob right that Australia needs Nostr more than most. I just don't feel like going there. 😅
But same as you, I'll go wherever the event ends up.
What you said 🤙🏽
I love the aus nostriches, and I am not voluntarily stepping in the gulag
I always wanted to travel to AUS but yes after the shit they've pulled in the last few years, it's moved waaaay down on my list
Prison island
Wow, I didn’t realize until now that they literally imprisoned him.
Quote from Novak’s father: 
New Zealand also needs nostr
Remember that issue, yeah. What is the „five eyes“ thing though?

It's we land in Australia so be it. Heard some shady stories about customs there so personally I'm hesitant on traveling there.
From Australians 😂
I really like the idea of having it in Australia and inviting nostr:nprofile1qqsr80thu5u52gr5074wzw22ft6l53l5qsufva3htdku005xtmvpg5spzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0tk4rx4 and Julian.
i was thinking the same thing
Reminds me of the nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp quote:
"WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us. **\[...\]** I make this appeal to WikiLeaks not to try to use NOSTR. NOSTR is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage."

I'm for Australia but not Julian fwiw, unless he's surrendered his ego

We need to see doot on stage.
Australia could be either the best or worst choice for the next Nostr unconference.
We have DigitalID rolling out by the end of this year. We also have an mis- & disinformation bill in parliament that will roll out within the next year which seeks to give our Ministry of Truth the ability to remove content from the internet if it could result in “harm”, and “harm” is so broadly defined (pic 1) that it’s going to give them free reign to censor anything and everything.
The MoT run by eKaren (an American woman who is 100% a CIA asset) has been tasked by parliament to develop a roadmap toward social media identity verification and have it implemented by August 2025 (pic 2).
This is now being publicly pushed as FoR dA cHILdReN after eKaren censored videos of a Bishop being stabbed by an immigrant, ordered Xitter to take them down GLOBALLY and then lost a court battle because they didn’t have that authority - they’re shoring up the law so the courts won’t have any choice but to allow them do whatever they want, and they can identify anyone who posts wrongthink.
By the time the next unconference rolls around it’s likely #AUStriches will be fully KYCed for all other social media.
So obviously we need #nostr, and interest here could be massive - possibly the first version of the event to break out beyond our existing sphere.
However, whilst the odds are low, they’re non-zero that the Gov will fuck this up. Denying visas is their most likely course of action (if any) - they’ve done this heaps of times for politically unfavoured individuals.
I don’t think they’ll gulag Nostr CEOs next year, odds of that are very low, but I don’t know they won’t either. More likely go after relay operators.
But this is probably the last chance to do it in Aus. Go out 12 months beyond these laws rolling out and I reckon then it would be too uncomfortable and the Gov would be more ready to come down on this.
I reckon it’s now or never. 
Yikes. It honestly sounds like Australians need Nostr now more than ever.
Yep, and Nostr could take off here because of the crackdowns.
But people need to bear in mind this isn’t the US; we don’t have constitutionally protected free speech, we’re a developed prison colony which LARPs about being laidback and lucky when in reality we’re Canada with nicer weather.
#Nozstr
Land of the commies. Beautiful place, but I’d be careful not to get locked down there if I were you. Had some friends who lost their minds last time
