Nostr as a technology is uncensored. But,
Most of it's users don't care about the most censored topics, such as Israel's genocide. They only wish to discuss Bitcoin, which isn't censored on Twitter.
Maybe Hamas should rename to "Bitcoin Bandits" so Nostr users would care
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. It's like Monero, we don't use Monero because what we are doing is super secret. we use it because what we are doing is nobody's business.
I can say whatever the hell I want on nostr, and nobody can do anything about it. That's why I use it. But I never say anything that would get me thrown in a gulag, not because I'm watching what I say, but because I genuinely dont feel like saying anything like that, it just doesnt cross my mind to. The mental load that people live under where they have to watch what they say, the performative aspect, that's just not there for me, it's freeing. That's why I use nostr, and not particularly because I have something potentially illegal to say.
A good point. Nostr allows discussiions. But it does not enforce them. It does not make us intrested in this or that. And this is ok.
Hopefully truely important things we can influence come up. Whatever big thing, I can not influence nor does it influence my daily live maby is also not that important in the end.
Not objectiv. But subjectively speaking.
fair enough man
Hamas should fund Bitcoin Core Devs
The only thing Hamas funds is terrorism and radical Islam
Let's start by pointing out that there is no genocide in Gaza. The numbers are clear on that.
I agree that Nostr is very Bitcoin and privacy aware. Starting a conversation on any other topic is hard. People didn't come here for that.
I see it as the scale issue. Right now Nostr is a very small community with a very narrow field of interest. As Nostr grows more people, with a greater variety of interests Will join. Nostr will become a collection of overlapping communities and not just Bitcoin+
Hey, the evidence for the genocide is overwhelmingly clear. I think you've got to be exposed to more information
According to the Hamas internal affairs office, around 60000 Gazans died in this conflict.
According to Israel 20000 combatants were killed.
Which makes this a 1:2 combatant to civilian ratio. This is better then in any other conflict in history. In simple terms, not a genocide.
well i'm disputing their definition of combatant. and the 60k.
a doctor from an aid organization testified at the UN he did not treat a single "combatant"
60k is coming from the ministry of internal affairs in Gaza. They have a motive to inflate the numbers.
A doctor can't distinguish between a combatant and a non combatant. Hamas fighters fight in civilian clothings and leave their weapons in the battle ground when injured. How can he distinguish between combatants and non combatants without intelligence information.
How did you come to a conclusion that there is a genocide in Gaza? What was the evidence you based it on?
And why the cynicism quotes around combatants?
dude, israel shoots at people going to get food from trucks. there's footage of them blowing up entire buildings because they claim one single hamas guy is in there. the evidence is all over
That is not genocide. A genocide is an attempt to eradicate a people just because they are those people. A genocide in Gaza will be if Israel tried to exterminate the Gazan population.
Israel did not try to do that.
If Israel will have tried, with their superior force, the death statistics wouldn't be 1:3.
These two specific instances might not even be war crimes.
I don't have the information about the specific cases that you are talking about, bit are you sure they were not justified? We're the people who were coming close to the food trucks civilians or were they armes Hamas members taking control if the food. Was the Hamas member in the building a high ranking member using the civilians as human shields?
The numbers prove that there is no genocide. Many of the so called "eat crimes" that Israel is caused of are justified actions of war.
bibi funded hamas
Bibi tried to buy peace. Is that smart? In retrospect, no. Hindsight is 20 20.
Does that make Hamas any better? No.
The fact that even when Israel tried to elivate Gazans pain and create some sort of dual existence with Hamas, Hamas just used it as sprinting board to attack Israel showes how completely and utterly immoral Hamas is.
there's quotes of bibi literally saying to fund hamas because they won't be taken seriously as the government, and then there won't be a palestinian state ever
There are 10,000 quotes of Bibi saying that Hamas is an enemy and must be destroyed.
What is your point? Are you trying to say that Hamas is some kind of "Jewish" conspiracy? Get a grip on reality. Understand what is the ideology of Hamas. It's history.
You are belittling Hamas and closing your eyes on a very big threat (Islam) if that is what you think
