I hear it mostly by IT people not using nostr yet.
Discussion
well they are just regurgitating what someone else said, who knows who that is
In other words, people that don't know what they're talking about.
Sure, Nostr isn't perfect (yet) but it's the best we've got right now.
Also, basing your premise on "government will do this or that", is just pathetic behaviour. China bans bitcoin 4 times a year, doesn't seem to do much now does it?
there's a lot of technical people who really don't know anything, they are like robots, they are extremely irritating to have conversations with because they don't actually know how to think
I always try to question myself, as I'm just a Linux enthusiast. But sometimes I meet one of those experts using a googled android, Instagram and an umbrel node. I prefer graphene, nostr, and raspibolt.
i prefer not to have a phone but too many businesses anchor you to them, couriers and banks specifically the worst offenders, so i have a 3 year old phone, and i wish i could just throw it away
and i'm renting a vps in romania for vpn and as a web redirector and now a lightning node hosting service from alby
i have a mini pc with a UPS but it's annoying to organise a proper network failover for it and i mainly have it for testing my servers in development
i hate phones, did i mention that? hate them
even if they ran arch linux i still wouldn't be that interested
i don't like wireless networks either
i am very suspicious of radio network tech industry covering up actual science about the health effects of constant immersion in low level microwave radiation
