Nostr Web Client

aren't you supporting the system that decided that what they did was wrong by signing the petition?

In what possible way would that be what’s happening here? It’s a website that does little more than show that there is popular support for someone that they can use for their defense and to bring attention to a judge who may see their appeal or recognize the injustice for the case. Interpreting it as anything else is silly.

The guy is about to spend 5 years in prison for harming no one and building good software. Being picky about “what website” you choose to post a statement on to share that this was fucked up is a total waste of time and matters exactly none to those being wrongly imprisoned.

i didn't say anything about a website. i guess you believe in democracy?

(nothing wrong if you believe in it, just saying in case you get offended by the question)

Not even close, democracy is little more than mob rule (i'm not sure how that relates to signing a petition), but i do think that if 100K people say something is a gross injustice, that it is far more likely to get attention and maybe have a chance of being corrected. It was the case for nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj76rfwd6zumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrwwp5hsetvwvhxxmmd9uqzqzyyxmxs88lcjp6ydr7nylav7cncfm4nwjgwpggc4w03fjwjv3kvuyqxun

it feels like asking the ruler to rule differently — i might be wrong

It’s simply stating as a group, “you fucked up, you’re wrong, and we know it.”

I promise, if no noise is made, nothing is signed, no emails are sent, no phones bothered, and no politicians or judges shamed, they will rot in jail for the entire allotted time without any pushback. The *smallest* thing we can do is publicly show our disapproval.

Yes but tbey aren't seeing how much more we want to do. Doing this feels like a kick in the nuts.
