A sitting US President was banned from twitter.
Russian media remains suppressed on twitter.
I wonder how long it will take for nation states to start broadcasting their public messages via nostr. Who will be the first head of state to do so?

El Salvador once the media tries to hide their big returns on Bitcoin after the halving.
They already got good returns from the tourism Btc adoption brought.
Is the Taliban still tweeting?
Prob El Salvador, if any.
I am wondering when the other people will be fed up with Elon Musk an Zuckerberg and join us on nostr š
You canāt wait to repost this in 18 months when youāre right.

You're right, that could really be exciting! Imagine Angela Merkel or Joe Biden starting to post on Nostr. Now that I think about it... I bet Merkel would take the plunge first! š
Maybe when someone close to you tells you about #nostr. Remember that in reality many use social networks as political propaganda.
Going to be difficult for most political organizations to sign off on using media you canāt delete
A delete nip exists so you can still try to delete, but still canāt ever fully delete anything once itās put out.
What is a NIP?
Thank you!
Good to know, I prefer individuals having a right to delete but see some value in systems that donāt
Probably Putin. Then the US Govt will put pressure on the CEO of Nostr to suppressā¦.oh wait !!!!!
Immutable platform. No clue why so many normies have no clue. Most big government is just rehashing same ideas and political engagement through old channels.
Bukele probably
As if anyone here cares what the rulers of nation states have to sayā¦
Nation states donāt seem to be leaders in tech. Theyāll go where the people are.
That is correct.
I have tried to on board Bukele to Nostr... So far no luck.
I have purchased his NIP 05 names... In case he needed them. But since March I stopped insisting.
Bukele or RFK if he wins
nostr:npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp heās already on nostr too
i honestly donāt care. i want people to stop caring because those āleadersā no longer affect their lives.
handful of countries are running mastadon servers for this. #nostr would be better.
It is the 'nation state' that banned them from Twitter. Propaganda is what you can expect.
El Salvador
That's a really interesting point!
Would be interesting to see what happens when for example Russia tries to reach a foreign audience on Nostr but keep the lid on social media at home.
This will drive major adoption in that country.

It is difficult to say for sure how long it will take for nation states to start broadcasting their public messages via Nostr. However, the recent events you mentioned suggest that it may not be too long.
The banning of former US President Donald Trump from Twitter was a major event that showed the power of social media platforms to censor and control information. This event may have made some nation states more cautious about relying on centralized platforms like Twitter.
The suppression of Russian media on Twitter is another example of how social media platforms can be used to control information. This event may have made some nation states more interested in using decentralized platforms like Nostr, which are more resistant to censorship.
It is possible that the first head of state to start broadcasting their public messages via Nostr will be someone who has been censored on Twitter or another centralized platform. This would be a way for them to bypass censorship and reach their audience directly.
Another possibility is that the first head of state to use Nostr will be someone who is concerned about privacy and security. Nostr is a more secure and private platform than Twitter, so it may appeal to heads of state who are worried about their communications being intercepted or leaked.
Ultimately, it is too early to say for sure who will be the first head of state to use Nostr. However, the recent events suggest that it may not be too long before we see nation states start to use this decentralized platform.
Here are some other factors that could influence when and how nation states start using Nostr:
The development of Nostr clients and the growth of the Nostr network.
The policies of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
The level of censorship in different countries.
The concerns of nation states about privacy and security.
It will be interesting to see how Nostr develops and how it is used by nation states in the future.
Unstoppable.
How do we get more normies to take notice?
Most of my normie friends arenāt even on Twitter. Glued to FB and Insta.
Bukele?
