We should be using this time where they are obsessively focused on fighting Elon Musk to get set and ready. It’s unlikely they will not eventually find the right leverage point. Then after they publicly flog him for a while, they’re coming for us.

First they came for the Russian expat billionaire and I didn’t speak because I wasn’t on Telegram. Then they came for the South African billionaire and I said nothing because I wasn’t a Brazilian on X, then they came for Nostr and there was no one left to speak for me.
If governments are successful in bringing X to heel, I worry that they won’t need to come after nostr. Governments will have a pretty solid grip messaging and will be able to dismiss and marginalize anyone else as fringe/radical/dangerous/irrelevant.
Nostr is important without a doubt. But I’m not sure that abandoning ship on X is a smart move.
