He went into more detail in the last Rogan podcast. At one point he stated something to the effect that he’s being persecuted by his licensing board and that wouldn’t have been a problem if he were speaking anonymously.

He does recognize the issue, but his perspective is that tyranny happens because good people don’t stand up for the truth, which he equates to putting your name and reputation behind the statements of truth. And yes, you might be persecuted for speaking up but it’s worse for you and everyone else if you don’t. Basically he’s stating that you need to be brave and face the heat.

I’m nym’ing it right now, but I understand his perspective.

Top Lobster tripling down on his nym-hate has me scratching my head.

Studied authoritarian regimes all his life but can't see the problem of being forced to use Government ID for all online communications?

Dear Justin,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your eight years of service leading Canada. You have taught me so much over these last few years.

You have taught me that democracies don’t work when the people’s main source of information is funded and controlled by the state.

You have taught me that the greatest weapon a government can wield is an apathetic citizenry.

You have taught me that once a government realizes that their power will go unchecked there are no limits to its corruption.

You have taught me that if the mob wants to take my property they can.

You have taught me that mis, dis, mal, and all the isms, are used to divide, distract, and obfuscate connections between individuals and the building of communities.

You have taught me that there are millions of people who are building a different world than the one you so vehemently defend as righteous.

You have taught me that there are peaceful ways to take back the power you have stolen from me.

You have taught me that I have to seek out and find the necessary tools to find a place for my family, that lays outside of your reach. A place where I can still leverage our tools of communication, without handing you the keys to the palace.

I am in control of my identity. I am in control of my data. I am in control of my property. I am in control of the media I consume. I am in control of my thought. I am in control.

Sincerely,

Sikto

Searching for users or anything needs to be easier.

I almost always go to nostr.band and search because search in Amethyst or Snort (which uses nostr.band) just do not work for me.

Downloaded and tried to install by opening it from android"file browser", but it says "not installed" after a while. Tips?

An edit button would be great.

You realize that a shitpost is content, right? The person that creates that content creator. Even though your post lacks an understanding, I value the effort that you put into it and will provide you some value in the form of sats. You're welcome.

Merçi boucoup

- Open protocols don't die easily

- nostr can't go bankrupt

- All accounts already exist

- Social media is only the 1st use case

- It's an identity and reputation layer

- Many "stupid" things will run over nostr

- (Calendar sync, TODO apps, etc.)

- Private relays will be big

- Pay-to-write is not a paywall

- Paywalls (pay-to-read) = stupid

- NIP-07 kills usernames and passwords

- It will improve massively over time

- Time and attention are horrible graph currencies

- Sats fix this & enhance the social graph signal

- Special clients will replace whole networks

- Pivot to nostr or perish

And last one

I was playing with SD around Xmas to visualize my ancients
