My feed is full of devs whining that we're not getting the Brazilian refugees.
Development attention span of a toddler. Geez.
We literally just figured out embeddings and DVMs, and most of the events and clients are still very beta. Relays are deepening and widening, but we're still tinkering.
We need more time. We can handle onboarding some Bitcoin Twitter tefugees. We can't handle friggin Brazil, ffs.
They were hoping for the samba dancers.
Nah, but I mean in all seriousness. If course nostr wants to be the protocol for the deplatformed. When a nation gets deplatformed and decides to join another centralized platform so the rugging happens again, it's not what your average nostr dev is hoping for.
We are a home for the people who need censorship resistence the most. That is why we exist. We don't have to meet some quarterly sales target.
The people who the judges are after will be better off here, behind a real, effective nym, than on Bluesky. They will slink over, one by one, because nobody can stop them from speaking and publishing, here, and they can build up a reputation and earn real money, without doxxing themselves or being censored.
We solved the hardest use case on the base layer.
Don't we have a Bluesky bridge? Can't we let them be safe here, and cross-post to the normies on BlueSky?
