most public comms will be broadcast using nostr - it is the ideal protocol

- cryptographically signed censorship resistant messages easily broadcasted globally

adoption will happen gradually then suddenly

Listening to the bearish case for nostr on nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p podcast, the guest talking about nostr not really standing a chance against the state in a war time scenario

I wonder if nation-states are actually capable of weaponizing IP and DNS to censor globally

They already do use IP and DNS to track people so it's not a big change to censor. It will be quite difficult to stop with Tor and borderline impossible if i2p gets used and built up.

But how many people even know about any of this? Not enough.

Agreed. Current generation of decentralized applications still rely on centralized internet infrastructure. The stat can just shut it off.A killer application using decentralized communication protocols would be to build out decentralized internet infrastructure.
