Yeah but practically everyone who calls it “freedom tech” has no idea what that means and likely has never even explored what real freedom tech even is.

It’s basically a bunch of normies who woke up in 2020 to realize that it’s critical to have tech with the explicit purpose of defending rights and getting around censorship, but who understand it so poorly that they all think Elon will do it for them and so they do what they’ve always done, just pick a different guy to “be in charge” who is gonna save them and protect their rights.

They never really changed their thinking, they simply realized that the technology is important without understanding what exactly that means.

it amazes me people think the mob understands the nuance, everyone will get fucked and thats the only way the retards will learn

I’m kind of a normie and I feel like I am relatively new in the scheme of things so I understand the confusion. The voices explaining freedom tech aren’t crossing over to normies frequently. It’s a bit of a bubble and the corporate press headlines aren’t helping. It’s hurting my heart tbh.

so bizarre when nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m has been singing praises for nostr and bitcoin as freedom tech, when he says it for twitter it gets MSM attention. Now normies think freedom tech means X. Time to abandon the phrase lol.

someone called damus “SocialFi” the other day. Dear god anything other than that.

I said the damn moniker two days before all this 🤦

They’ll think I was talking about grok or something was referring to Nostr

I find it really hard to believe Jack actually called “X” freedom tech. I’d be very curious what the context of that “quote” is, lol.

I’ve listened to Jack’s arguments enough times that I can’t possibly believe he thinks that in any serious sense and that even if he did say it with that meaning, that is was an off-hand comment and only meant to indicate that it’s a more open conversation than alternatives. Otherwise that’s an absurd statement.

The difficulty is that in this space everyone has heard his arguments. The rest of the population hasn’t heard the arguments. Elon quote tweeted the headline calling X freedom tech. The term is dead now, sadly.

I guess I need to open a twitter account, nostr is dead I guess.
