Nostr Web Client

Friends on Nostr, a really big political moment is taking shape in Thailand. It occurred to me that, unlike the Arab Spring movement that used Twitter to grow its international exposure, the conservative changes recently made to the information distribution algorithm on Twitter will make that platform less helpful to the democracy activists and protesters.

But now we have Nostr, maybe right now is a good opportunity to work as a community to bring this protocol to the attention of Thai people and their allies so we can try to attract attention frim a worldwide audience and international media who should be paying attention to what's happening in Thailand.

Let's start paying attention to this. Help amplify and keep the conversation going.

I think I was not clear enough here underlining my assumptions. If the Thai people truly launch a revolution against the junta, as the very well may if things continue down the road they're going, the state will shut down their comms—exactly the same way authoritarian states have done in the past, such as in the Arab Spring, and recently in Iran, or as is constantly done in a censorship driven PRC.

Nostr fixes this, because it's not possible to shut down nostr without turning off the internet entirely. And even then we have methods to keep nostr viable that are, albeit, undeveloped.

So the time to get Thai democracy activists on Nostr is now, before their government shuts them down.

If nostr becomes the channel on which the Thai democracy is able to assert itself, mainstream press will cover it.

The turmoil in Thailand represents a possibile way for Nostr to assert its value, and could also be an opportunity for nostr to achieve a significant adoption stage.
