Back in August 2023 I wrote, “Nostr Ensures a Free Internet for the Future”

Being from the left camp, I knew what was to come in terms of claiming nostr is some right wing fantasy (although community may lean this way, the protocol is neutral and certainly worth fighting for to exist and grow). Here’s the first couple paragraphs:

“A dangerous trend has emerged in the United States that is seeing terms like “free speech,” “censorship resistant,” “privacy” and more become co-opted by those on the political right, while tools enabling these principles are argued and fought against by those on the political left. The truth is that freedom, privacy and censorship-resistant technologies are important for everyone, regardless of political leanings and they should not be politicized, lest we head down the path toward a dystopian future with no privacy or free speech guarantees, and only centralized institutions controlled by people with the ability to censor, revoke and remove important guarantees of freedom promoted in the spirit and language of the U.S. Constitution.

Just as Bitcoin has falsely become politicized as a more right wing/Libertarian technology — explained away by others as having no value or as a tool for criminals and those who disregard the dangers of climate change — open and decentralized protocols like Nostr could enter the same cycle and become politicized or fought against, unless we share more reasons why it is important for all of humanity and not just a political position to take.”

Fight on nostr. We are all nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 💜
