Replying to Avatar FLASH

⚡️💬 I usually express myself in the evening before going to bed... but this time I can't wait. It has to come out.

Some people are embarrassed when I publish "sensitive" information: about the catastrophic situation in Gaza, the treatment of Snowden, Covid and all its excesses, Yemen, Israeli politics, the management of the European Union and other subjects…

I deeply respect all sensibilities - but I respect my own conscience even more.

This protocol shouldn't just be used to talk about development or to say "GM". (Go on, it's not a criticism.) But it would be, in my eyes, a huge waste if we were to settle for that.

Let me be clear: I'm not here ONLY to talk about Bitcoin or AI - even though I love these subjects, and take immense pleasure in dealing with them.

But whenever there's injustice, oppression, or complicit silence, I feel a responsibility: to relay. And I will continue to do so. Whether you like it or not.

Even if my number of subscribers halves, even if my income from Nostr drops - I won't regret this message. I just had to say it.

Because that's what Nostr is for me too: a free, uncensored space where you can let the light shine where others prefer the shadows.

And all the work I've done here - hundreds of hours, maybe more than a thousand, at the rate of 8 hours a day for 130 days - is meaningless if I can't express myself freely.

With all due respect once again, if we finally have an unfiltered space, then let's use it for what really matters. Denounce. Inform. Resist.

But also have fun, share, experiment. Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing changes after this message. I'll keep talking about what feels right - Bitcoin, Gaming, AI or Gaza.

Because freedom is also the freedom not to look away.

You are true, #nostr have also been created for you.

You are here at home as all the others.

Everyone can mute or watch the content they are confident with.

You do a great job, continue on your way, and it is not because most stay quiet and just watch silently that they count less than the one who feel embarrassed (it is their right too, but if it is all the time, perhaps they should unfollow or just mute you, it still up to them).

#nostr is young yet and is not a huge place for debate, but it will come, and you will probably have more and more people embarrassed and people that like your news too.

Me i like them whatever they are even if sometimes it can be depressive, but it is not your fault, it is the world that produce these news, not you.

And it remind us that we can sometimes act to have others good news too.

So i am one of your follower, a real one, and you can be sure i want you to continue on your way the time you want.

Thanks you for sharing this before an eventual silent give up happen.
