Nostr Web Client

I'm still processing the experience of standing completely alone against hundreds of people calling me racist and white supremacist for raising concerns about AT Protocol's (Bluesky) decentralization.

It was watching intelligent, technical people get swept into mob dynamics, unable to think independently. The silence from those who privately agreed but wouldn't speak up was perhaps most disturbing.

I don't know what's more telling: I signed up on their "cryptoanarchy.network" PDS and was immediately banned just because I used an avatar with inverted colors.

This is *opposite* of cryptoanarchy. It's ideological control wearing cryptoanarchy's aesthetic. Another cage pretending to be freedom. Another concept that has been stolen and will be used against us.

I still think AT Protocol can be superior to Nostr in terms of balancing decentralization with practical usability for masses. But NOT with the current population, which hates everything decentralization actually means while claiming to build it.

From now on, I'm building on Nostr.
