Nostr and Simplex are the solution to censorship.

ISPs cannot ban Nostr, there are currently more than 617 relays, they would have to ban all their ips, so what? setting up a relay is very simple, they can even operate behind Tor.

Nostr has no central server to attack, no rigid architecture to dismantle.

The same goes for Simplex, you can set up your own Simplex server in 5 minutes, it is not feasible to censor all Simplex servers, and in the same way, they can also operate behind Tor.

Simplex, like Nostr also does not have a central server to attack and censor.

If you are using Telegram, think about migrating your groups to Simplex, what is happening in Spain can happen in your country at any time.

Also Keet is a very good solution… it is now open source and the ID implementation is a matter of days…

What is happening in Spain?

Corruption

The same thing that is happening in every country. Baby steps towards dystopia

nerds on nostr think that computer programs are somehow going to defeat totalitarianism. they couldn't be more wrong. you'll have to do a lot more than promoting computer programs.

BEST COMMS & FINANCING A REVOLUTION EVER HAD

The Spanish judiciary has issued an order to ban Telegram in Spain. As per the judicial mandate, all internet service providers (ISPs) are required to block access to Telegram in the coming days. The rationale behind this action is the prevalence of piracy on the platform.

Isn't every device you got SimpleX on a server? How big can the groups be? Any limits? Sent you an invite btw. Dm

What is happening in Spain?

Do you think technically this ban and similar can be enforced these days?

Indeed

Session is far superior to SimpleX group chats which don’t scale. You’re only biased to SimpleX because you hate any crypto other than Bitcoin, which is ironically your form of censorship.

Sesion compared to Simplex is crap with respect to privacy, p2p programs are not good at preserving privacy.

It also works terribly.

First off Session isn’t peer-to-peer. It’s peer-to-node, working like a crypto-powered Tor.

Second, SimpleX is closer to peer-to-peer with group chats requiring each member to crypto-handshake with the other ones, which is why it doesn’t scale. Our group chat has 230 or 250 people depending on whose client you’re looking at, because the handshakes aren’t going through to all members.

Third, Session’s unique DNS enables it to hop from device to device if the server’s location is discovered, making it completely separated from physical locations. We’ve created original server-side code for this, which you can find out about here,

Anyone can set up a Simplex server, almost no one can set up a session node because of the cost.

If I don't run the server, I don't run the code.

There are two issues, censorship and privacy.

I disagree with this view for censorship, as here the issue is who owns the domain name.

With SimpleX, it's the government.

With Session, its the end user with private keys to their blockchain entry.

Thank you both for the great insights !

This is why nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 will reign supreme

👊🎯

They can still ban web based frontend.

Okay, fine, I'll download Simplex. 😁

beautiful!

how to create a relay via Tor? I'm running one but it's from Umbrel.
