#nostr just likes to talk big on #privacy and go back to their google forms and google calendars as soon as they minimize their clients.

There’s no privacy talk on Nostr.
Every BTC transaction is traceable.
Every IP is logged.
There's decent privacy with a VPN, also you can encrypt stuff with your own private keys which you can do nowhere else on the internet.
Look at: https://formstr.app to understand what a privacy product based on productivity could look like on nostr.
Not true!

For how important the Nostr community seems to claim Open Source Software is, there seems to be absolutely no attempt to avoid proprietary software in the most impactful ways.
Proprietary iPhone spyware is the norm here.
Users here clamor constantly for their apps to be permitted on the App Store or Play Store not realizing this permissionless nature of Bitcoin only lives in the FOSS movement.
So often we see these half measures fueled by cognitive dissonance and complacency. As this mentality continues Nostr nor Bitcoin will never have the wide scale impact on freedom everyone wishes it will.
Graphene is heavily proselytized here and we have our own fucking app store, what are you talking about.
Calm down buddy. There's a clear split on Nostr between the iPhone users and the GrapheneOS fanatics. Obviously my criticism of Nostr users who use proprietary software doesn't apply to those using open source software.
You said 'proprietary iphone software is the norm here'. And i dont think that is true becayse of what i said. I see no evidence of your claim
