Decentralization is individual liberty.
I’m watching Asmongold right now talking about what's coming in regard to tyranny on the Internet, and losing anonymity and privacy online to the evil oligarchs who don't like getting down-voted and ratio'd. It makes me think about the fact that, by and large, ALL content on the Internet is centralized. (Thank goodness that banking is getting decentralized right now.) NOSTR is an attempt to go toward content decentralization, which is an excellent concept.
I think we need to conceive of how to use such developing technologies to decentralize all content hosting on the Internet for average people. And along with that, we also need to be conceiving of ways to eliminate ‘last mile’ Internet service providers as well, since they’re obviously the gatekeepers of last resort. With the advent of bitcoin and Starlink, what can we now conceive of to remove all such gatekeepers from being necessary as part of an effort to guarantee we average people can communicate anonymously and privately on the Internet, without restriction nor fear of any reprisal? NOSTR gives us a window into decentralized and uncensorable content.
I believe we need to explore these ideas and implement solutions to defend our online liberty in the coming generations.
We need decentralized content.
We need decentralized hosting.
We need decentralized Internet connection.
We need tokenized and trustless confirmation of person with zero personal information.
We need content filtering handled by individuals.
We need to decentralize power online and give it to the individual.
