THE HIDDEN TAX
Twitter Created for freedom by jack, but now overthrown by elon musk
#[0]
Bingo!
Not that freedom is free, however. In the old days, people shot each other for freedom. Now it takes years of slaving away at a computer writing software to gift freedom to many.
That’s progress. Real progress.
True 🙏
Most importantly freedom requires a subscription.
I thought it was $8?
Elon kind of missed the "free" part in the word freedom.
Why isn’t there an alternative internet not controlled by gov and elites and corporate interests?
4 Ps of marketing:
Product Place Promotion and Price …
I can’t believe Elon musk colluded with governments but people have been saying that for a long time 😐😒
Not an Elon Musk fan either, but you realize Twitter colluded with government agencies under #[2]'s leadership too, right? Its not an Elon vs Jack thing. Its a corporate protocol vs p2p protocol thing. Which is why Nostr and Bitcoin exist.
A small cost for man, a huge cost for freedom of expression.🫥
Magic number: 7

Terrible !!

Jack you’re my generation 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’m proud of belonging you the gen you belong to! Keep it up 🙂

"freedom"
But, can I pay in Doge coin?
I'm legit keeping a moon bag of DOGE so if Elon does integrates it into Twitter I can sell it for BTC.
It's from a really old wallet back when people gave it out to each other free on Reddit then I withdrew to a local wallet and forgot the password until a few months ago.
NOSTR PLEBS BE LIKE
Three Fiddy in Twin Weeks?
dna as price in future? its free
Yes we are, from stardust to nostr 🤙🏼🤭Those genealogy shows make me feel that way too. 🗽
**** if one does not stroke mr musk's ego, twitter freedoms will be revoked
Glad I bought SQ and not twatter
Don’t tell him about Nostr.
On Nostr we pay each other for freedom ❤️⚡
Anyone who thinks that the internet has anything to do with freedom missed the boat on net neutrality's failure. And anyone who thinks Jack Dorsey didn't miss the same boat must not be on Jack Dorsey's Gulfstream.
Outside of large corporations, the internet is and has always been free as in freedom. If you grew up in the pre-Facebook era you know it was a different place back then.
Part of why I love Nostr so much is that it feels like a return to the internet I grew up with. No corporate overlords, no central control, just communities of people keeping their community alive as long as enough people pay the hosting bill.
I concur. hey i don't want any jordan peterson candy or anything but how might a person connect one of these nostr wallets to ledger live?
I love your sentiment and I agree with pre-facebook era vibe - the computer was there to do wild shit and burn CDs...similar to reality TV screwing up MTV, socials and porn have cheapened the average potential. However, you're forgetting about Uncle Sammy...Snowden was over a decade ago...that work has been kept up, expanded, and supercharged. They know when you take a shit, and they have everyone fooled into thinking, "Well as long as I don't commit a crime..." I'm sure the 19th century slaves thought the same just before they got lynched without provocation.
Sure but back in the Usenet days everything was sent in the clear anyway, there was no encryption, so the government didn't need special spying programmes to watch you. They just asked your phone company.
Today, especially since Snowden, there is a battle of cat and mouse between the government and encryption.
If you wanted to stay anon on Nostr you could run relays through Tor hidden services and access your client only through Tor.
Given the most popular relay already has Tor functionality (Nostream) this can be done now. Won't be long until a Tor setting in Nostr apps is the norm either. Until then you can use Orbot.
And good luck trying to regulate relays like the government is tryna regulate legacy social media. It's unenforceable. You can run relays from servers in Belize paid for in non-KYC coinjoined BTC and run em through Tor.
Yes the gov has levelled up since Snowden for sure but "we can code faster than you can regulate" remains truer than ever.
Indeed, the reason I got attracted to Nostr a year or more ago is because of the similarity with NNTP. It is that UseNet experience that I'm trying to recreate with the more-speech app.

Is that why you include the > quotes in your replies? It's a bit noisy for the reader... :)

Yes, it allows me to respond to questions and statements in-line.
>It's a bit noisy for the reader... :)
It can be, so I delete them if I think they are extraneous.
Going by memory, it seems like you always leave them in. :) Might be better to default off, except when you need to do the inline response? Just my 2¢. 2 sats? :D
It is interesting though: everyone else here is building Twitter or Facebook, and you're building Usenet. This is the kind of client diversity that Nostr promises: a world of loosely-joined ends. I love it.
I leave them in frequently. I also delete them frequently. It depends upon my mood.
And, yes, I agree. The range of applications is enormous. Nostr is not twitter, is not FB, is not UseNet. Nostr is a protocol and a community that is growing and exceling. I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
Now we just need groups! I don't see a NIP for that...
Is was better back then
The subscription model is the classic fraud model.
“Freedom”

Elon is basically Nelson Mandela
Oh wait
Free and open, where you can own your data is an even SMALLER price for actual freedom! #NOSTR

Your mocking sounds more like bickering.
Freedom is when I have to pay $8 to get my voice heard. Peak freedom!
Your experience at twitter certainly sharpened your approach to 'the machine'. I like the evolving 'Jack'! You'll be the sharpest tool for freedom in the coming years!
Elle me semble relativement utopique puisqu'elle dépend de beaucoup de critères surtout le bien commun se doit d'être une primauté dans nos sociétés et ses règles, les lois, constitutions diverses à respecter qui de plus ne peuvent pas être individualisées .
....And we are buying it... whilst our banks check our 'credit scores' 😄😔
#Nostr #Bitcoin 🧡🌍
He’s not wrong
HAHAHA
You are still a slave to an algorithm on both sides. They won.
"Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app"
Freedom costs a buck o’ five.

It's a 100% controlled opposition this guy.
Spending billions on rockets that explode a few seconds after the launch, while some people are starving... I call that regression.
