Freedom of speech, said someone!

Everyone should be in control of their own communication and social graph.

Absolutely.

There is onus and responsibility on the individual to make this a reality.

There is no free lunch and more of the masses need to adopt decentrailzed mechanisms.

More people need to care before it is too late.

Disgusting behaviour

He wants to play god

He’s been doing that a lot it barely makes it to do news , he demonetized and suspended a lot of account when a conflict broke a few days ago , it was very hard to get updates because all the accounts were getting shadow banned and unfindable

The regulated global discourse is a scam to control you

Nostr fixes this

Wasn't politico on the list that received millions in government funding? and now that they have been exposed they are constantly attacking Elon and Doge.

Let me do your thinking for you because you haven't done it. Politico is not a creditable source.

any how many media companies were on the USAID? hundreds of thousands

No idea. That wasn't my point. 😉

Ya your point was because many news media wrote it, it must be true but you failed to realize that a lot of these so called media are funded by the same people.

how much money 𝕏 or Musk received for doing that favour to Erdogan ?

Perhaps they simply have to follow the laws in the places they operate because they are a company subject to laws.

I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm saying I understand. They have to play the long game and at least remain available to the rest of the country, or it's Brazil all over.

But yes, decentralize all the things.

Israel is a terrorist state !

No way! Impossible!!!

i agree most people do not care about censorship resistance.

that said, increased adoption of censorship resistant tools are important for humanity.

Absolutely

I also think a lot of people do care to some degree. If you ran a poll I bet at least 25% of Americans would say they do care if a platform *cannot* censor their posts. But just not nearly enough to delete Facebook etc unfortunately…

That could be because most people are not political enough or not voicing out rational thoughts enough to get censored. They are not threatened - forced to self censor. Once they are at the receiving end of that threat, they may realize why censorship free society is needed.

Unfortunately people are sheeple. Even Winston, in 1984, in the end gives up. Winston Smith, broken and compliant, experiencing a sense of victory over himself as he loves Big Brother, a final act of submission to the Party's control.

The fact we have 20,000 nodes for #bitcoin and what, 200,000 users on #Nostr isn’t bad…

There are more than 20,000 node runners out there. Nodes are not reachable to the public by default. If it becomes an issue in the future, that option can be easily switched on.

Let’s hope we (nodes) have consensus not add the Lutnick, Tiehl, Blackrock code „bug“ to the #Bitcoin code.

No updates, for cheapsakes

Yeah, I will probably never update my node for that reason.

No one ! 💪🏾🤘🏾😎⚡️

Nothing new! It has been like this for long in Turkey and India!

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely - Lord Acton.

The way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many - Thomas Jefferson.

Use Nostr or get blocked.

Musk: “Everyone has free speech, but I decide who gets to use it.”

Sadly accurate

Is not someone control , rather a country control , so it’s obvious Israel is in control on Twitter .
