These are valid questions from recent observations. I do hope SAIF takes the feedback and adresses it kindly cause they are bleeding OG follows atm.

I came to nostr originally due to recommendations from nostr:npub175nul9cvufswwsnpy99lvyhg7ad9nkccxhkhusznxfkr7e0zxthql9g6w0 and nostr:npub1chmhgx9nwxdpwv6jj6qs257fwzrhtsjh2egvyvqq3rmzfy8cd5fq4nr4y5 and this was two years ago. I completed my hirja here before ever reading a SAIF article or knowing about Eco and the "joycat" wing. I was not an accelerationist until even about nine months ago (again, thanks entirely to IM posts here on nostr).

A few months back nostr:npub1cyszsghzdpyl9el987y9v53mz9yq2kh6xmjdhkkw6ehkf78m5fzs8n7zym graciously invited me to join a SAIF aligned group chat and it was a wonderful experience to connect more and nostr:npub1jztpxpucq97dt6vt6wlh7czzxuahvaxn7pv0waea7yrkf5j7u9tspm9j4q was particularly helpful in working through some theory with me.

To my knowledge SAIF's endorcement of nostr has not been disavowed and I personally maintain husn al dhan toward all of SAIF. Recent moves have significantly raised doubt regarding intent and as any muslim knows, intent is paramount. To be clear, I have reached out to many from SAIF core via a few channels now and nostr:npub1la035xtyf47xj4yw5c0nz2vcaze8anjzun9u3hjepqzlwla79ztqfe6dx7 has been the only one to provide any clarification. I will leave this post as an opportunity for him or another from core to kindly respond publically as that seems both appropriate and necessary at this point. nostr:note127grtg0mfu8ec5zm22qwkchahsu2xxcu4ykjax53q3z4vkfqwhpsqamcx0

Yeah, but they don't need to be kind. They can just adjust to my tone. I didn't even know there are certain figure behind "SAIF" or whatever that is. Good that you've finally named names. And actually, I'm more concerned about the expression itself. Why invent a new word for it, form a group behind it, when it's really nothing more than timeless Islamic ethics?

As stated in the SAIF interview with Qawwam magazine, we welcome criticism. We do not appreciate lecturing. People seem to miss the entire point of SAIF time and time again, and project that onto us. I've explained in my reply the one sentence vision for SAIF. Everything is downstream from that, and any means to inch forwards towards that, we will take. The post misunderstands SAIF, then the author believes he can delineate between who is SAIF and who is not, which articles are SAIF (his) and which articles are too abstract to be understood. What gives?

Anyway, this is all so boring. We're not an OPSEC educational nonprofit. Some of us like to talk about that stuff because we enjoy it, think it's useful to the project, important information for people to have access to or a mixture. Others don't at all. Getting lost in the toolbox and missing the shed that needs to be built.
