While this is true, and I'm sure he knows this. He was probably surprised that his identity was not better known because it was well published. On google groups, on ripple users, in ipfs, on github, on licenses, and so on. But if he wants to be known as a psuedonym, we should call him that. We should call people what they want to be called, because it's polite. Still think what Business Insider did was really bad. Maybe nostr will actually get stronger for this, as it transitions from a one person labour of love, to a community driven open source movement.

Yeap. As I said the article is dumb but people overhype it bigger than the actual article is lmao
It was either bad opsec or he just didnt care for at least 4 years. His real name is all over the place:

The article was written in a quite sinister way. But everyone knows now, and it's not a big deal. I personally want to engage with nostr a bit more now that it's less of a cult of personality.
It’s literally never been a cult of personality.
Maybe he meant circle jerking 😁
Vous savez l'an dernier il y avait une note de jack sur nostr avec une présentation de Fiatjat et de son parcours en pièce sauf la partie où Katherine long le lié au racisme ..
il aurait dû la republier cela aurait évité les notes de ls semaine dernière y compris les changements spontanés de pseudos ubuesques de tant de nostriches ..
Je rappelle que c'est la 2eme fois que ce type d'actions se fait sur nostr ..lorsque l'entreprise de jack était ciblée en Australie tout nostr était contre Greenpeace alors que cela n'avait rien à voir avec Greenpeace...cette plateforme se doit d'être neutre si elle tient à survivre ...
Certains le deifient quand même HODL
I thought it was interesting how many nostriches wanted to censor or cancel something, that they thought was morally outrageous. Yet, on nostr itself, censorship resistance seems to be valued.
In the end much of it turned out to just be pretty public data. I kind of liked it, since im no business insider fan. But it did make me wonder what nostriches really want, some kind of selective censorship resistance, perhaps. A minor philosophical point I'll think about a bit more ...
Have to fight fire with fire.
These people are not sitting around pondering philosophical points, they never stop to ask if what they’re doing is good or moral or just, they just want power and they will use our good nature against us.
That’s exactly how the Overton window has shifted so far left - these people have had zero resistance.
Yeah some people on here have double standards as you can see. I can speak only for myself and I highly against censorship and I think it’s dumb on the open source protocol but still we have some devs who try to to implement dumb tools 🤷♂️
I dont think there should be censorship at the protocol level. Implementers can do what they want. The more implementations the better, the more user choice, the better, imho. It took me a long while to actually realize that the other side was being censored. It was clearly a hit piece. However it contained largely public information (we found out later).
Ce fut paradoxalement non Melvin!? Surtout sur l'appel au bannissement couplé d'insultes ils ont tous réagi sans recul sur le coup de l'affect, surtout sur X d'ailleurs j'ai dû faire un feedback de recadrage à Uncle Rockstar..leurs réactions ont plus exacerbé l'effet du tweet de Katherine Long . Il aurait fallu plus de professionnalisme agir entre adultes et laisser Fiatjat répondre aux allégations en termes de droits et puis la mise en danger de sa vie sous couverture. En quoi se permettaiejt de faire des liens de leurs tweets avec Elon Musc et communities pour des professionnels qui venaient d'assister au Freedom Forum d'Orly ..!!:Cela donne matière à réfléchir voire se poser sur la grille de lecture que certains ont de la Liberté d'expression puis les droits des individus...Personne n'a le droit d'attaquer en public un autre individu qu'ils ont tous estimé incompétent .. personne est-ce l'étalage individualisé de la répartition des fonds alloués qui fut d'ailleurs un document de Fiatjat !? Je m'interroge depuis même je suis toujours en observation et analyse de cette nouvelle plateforme depuis le debut
