To be honest i first used GAB a lot when the censorship ramped up. But no else came other than a bunch of neo-nazis.
Nostr has been home for three years now.
And it feels good 👍🏻
Discussion
Yeah, I went there when things were getting bad but never stuck around there - not my vibe, tbh. Still, the UK is slowly cutting it's citizens off from the rest of the world.
You managed to get anyone interested in Nostr in person?
Not really. People are happy on facebook.
Most don't give a shit enough to learn.
Most don't even know whats going on outside of the MSM narrative.
I dispair of my fellow country men.
I haven't found many on here either.
But i have found my tribe though....
I got one mate on here but he doesn't post and only looks occasionally- that said, he's not on FB or twitter much either. Stickiness is a real issue when it comes to growing new networks.
For me countries don't exist anymore or are an illusion of the state. How can it when borderless money is available? Mini Citadels are the future.
Damn right, rebuild the castles.
I totally see a world of citadels, from single discreet buildings in the midst of urban social credit dystopia, to estates, regions, even one or two countries. We're going to need to be able to move freely between them too, wherever they are in the world.
Bring on the UK protests!!
They will be quickly muted. Nothing of sustenance ever prevails. Nostr is the only way.
Or slapped down. It would take a sustained and organised spell of civil unrest to force any change.
Problem is no-one wants to discuss what that change should be.
The trouble I find is that when people talk about change they talk from a collectivist viewpoint, it's all 'we have to work together', the trouble is, I don't want to work together with most of them 😂
True, but i tend to find we all want to work together when its easy 🤷🏻
Brits have a comfort in complaining culture but never no how to make a change i agree.
Most people here wouldn't even notice its happening as long facebook and amazon are still available....🤷🏻
Very very few people would have even heard of gab or bitchute in the UK I reckon. It's more noticeable when it's people hosting forums, like The Hamster Forum which made the news, who shut themselves down as they were scared of potentially falling foul of the ambiguous law and Draconian punishments.
But yes, most people won't notice cos these are all very niche, the majority of people aren't using forums, they're on the Big Name social media sites.
