That’s not how nostr works. Your trust in the network is irrelevant.
You can trust keypairs and identities, not “the nostr network”. You don’t trust “the world”.
If you don’t understand this you shouldn’t take on the responsibility of being a nostr advocate with your friends.
I take on the responsibility to be an advocate for everything BTC related. Once again, this is my opinion - & I am pretty sure that Nostr, or any network is built in trust. Or it won’t succeed.
Defining trust across nostr is your definition and imo it’s wrong. You can not expect everyone to trust each other, humans don’t work like that. Who you trust will be different to who I trust.
Sorry if you had a bad experience, that doesn’t extrapolate to me though.
I’m sorry, what’s your role in the development of Nostr?
What if your advocacy is crippling the thing you’re advocating for?
I think you are missing #[3] point. NORTR as a protocol allows lots of networks, that can overlap. The trust that it is a safe space is built on the relay (and client?) level. This allows for diversity of opinion as to what is acceptable, with the goal of being able to avoid censorship. This is a rapidly developing space, the changes that have happened in the 2 months I've been on here are phenomenal. Keep advocating for what you want to see and chances are someone will create it soon enough.
Stacks Sats point was to simply troll.
Understood. Beautifully explained as well. Just not enough for people interested in open protocol to proceed to take the time to onboarding unto the network; KISS - friends groups having a place to socialize & partake in all things BTC or to make new friends.
I think *you* are trolling us 🤔
I was interested more in the uncensored freedom of speech aspect of Nostr - thus far, a disappointment. No point speaking freely if I cannot do so without my friends.
It's not necessarily a free speech protocol. Relays will ban speech they deem unacceptable. I've seen a few hate speech posts reported.
The majority of users are libertarian, relays and clients are yet to develop reputations on what they will allow and ban. This is where the ability to ensure your friends will feel welcome will come as cultures develop around relays.
Bitcoiners are very sceptical and defensive as a result of dealing with years of scamers and deliberate misinformation attacks. From what I have observed, overall it has been a very accepting and positive environment.
I think it is you who has missed the point. Don’t treat nostr as an amorphous blob. It is and always will be a loose collective of individuals.
I’m going to distance myself from views with which I disagree. I don’t particularly care who makes them, if they seek to tar me with a brush as part of a collective I will contribute my opinion as an individual.
Big advocate of trust, see my posts about #[4]’s https://verifiedhuman.net project. I don’t trust all of nostr, I trust the people contributing to make nostr what it is.
But I’m not opposed to free speech. I disagree, that’s different. You’re both added to wss://relay.nostr.com.au so you can keep getting your different opinion out there.
Do you mine? Or do you buy? I ask because I still don’t see any value in Bitcoin. If you can’t aquire it cheaply, what is the point? Need to get employers to pay in it before it really takes off.
