Banning X only affects influencers. That's why I think it's really cool. Regular people don't use X. They don't lose anything.
WhatsApp on the other hand... 😱
Yes, he just needs an excuse to ban WhatsApp as well.
Discussion
VPNs and Starlink suffering collateral damage is not good. Right now Brazil is flaring a huge red flag to the rest of the world.
Agreed. X is MySpace for the talentless.
Noone is banning WhatsApp nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z! That's the whole point! WhatsApp is their main data mining tool!
They are evil, not stupid!
Ridiculous take
Devs literally have no idea that twitter exists outside of bitcointwitter.
Bizarre take.
Whatsapp is the biggest addiction .. It was hardest when I gave up smartphone .. even now ..
In Russia, X is popular among pseudo-intellectual youth, the liberal public, political propagandists, and sexual minorities.
We need a decentralized whatsapp-like service. Instead of your phone number you’d have a private key.
"regular people don't use X" ... you lost me right there, buddy.
Banning Whatsapp would not be a bad thing. It's owned by fiat social media criminals Meta.
If banning it onboards more people to #Amethyst / #Nostr then it's inconvenient for some but an overall win.
IMO... Internet security, privacy and all that jazz is as important as BTC for freedom. The people scraping and selling our data are Appl$, M$, Googl$, Met$ and the rest... Even the bank$. Fiat tech giants are evil.
"Regular people don't use X. They don't lose anything."
I've been on TwitterX since 2007. Reckon it has been great for catching up on breaking stories in real-time, as well as being invaluable for journalists and activists. But in its present form and mission to be The Sole Source Of Truth on the web, it won't be long before it is taken down by those who wish us to continue to be blissfully ignorant and clueless.
This is mainly why I'm on Nostr now. My expectations for Nostr are high.
Vitor, is it possible for a Nostr client like #Amethyst to offer the same functionality/feature set as TwiiterX Premium? I mean the enhanced formatting options, ability to edit posts/notes, etc. If so, that could be a compelling reason for folks to ditch the bird site and move over to Nostr. Mull it over , please? 🤔 😉
"Banning btc only affects criminals. That's why I think it's really cool. Regular people don't use btc. They don't lose anything."
Concordo que banir o X afeta praticamente só os influencers.
You think it's really cool? Huh. Nostr and Amethyst are superior, but to claim people do not use X when Nostr is not even a blip in the pie... Ignorant.
