There is a lot of censorship going on in the UK right now. Social Media companies are being forced to delete posts, deplatform accounts which are deemed to be spreading "misinformation" and "hate speech".

Of course the UK government is the self appointed Ministry of Truth.

If you are an Englishman, please advise your fellow citizens to join Nostr.

We should be using this platform to return people their voices, other than shitposting/cringeposting and being nerds.

Personally, I am in of the opinion that western governments have become too big and wield way too much influence for the level of competence they display. We need to get it through people's head that Bitcoin is how you defund these parasites with dictatorial aspirations.

Long ago, banks became an extension of the state. Now social media platforms are an extension of the state.

I'm not saying that this is good or bad, just that there needs to be an alternative like #nostr

I am now a strong advocate that all free relays should delete all non-metadata content (not kind 0, 3 and 10002) after 90 days.

Most users not only seem fine with it but don't really care about saving their notes at all. They are here for the moment and not to build a database of posts they can look back on. Those who are here to build content are already paying for relays.

Then all free relays should offer a paid option that simply keeps all posts for as long as the user pays. Relays can use the NOTIFY spec to warn users they are about to delete some of their stuff.

I agree. But we need to find a use case that make paid relays as compelling as running an email or web server.

X is mayhem. Bots, propaganda, hatred, violence, state-level psyops, misinformation, and porn campaigns to surpress real news.

That's a normal day over there. Holy shit.

Yup. I always feel like I just visited an open-air prison when I go there.

PoW DVMs might be a way to do this possible.

We need POW to make disposable pubkeys (= no WoT score) not get filtered out.

PoW on a low-powered device can’t compete with e.g. a spam ASIC; the PoW cant be done in-device.

Imagine, a user wants a disposable identity, requests from a PoW DVM a pubkey with X number of bits of POW, pays for it and gets the tweak to get the pk. This could be done even without the DVM knowing the actual pk.

How often did it tweet? Daniel wanted this to be every 10 minutes but I figured that was too spammy 🤣

It was every hour. Back then there were no rate limits. It got shut down when someone complained about 'Afrikaaner with bacon.' I have another bot still on the go that tweets three times a day. I believe that's the limit or people get tired of.

So, I made a bot for him. This bot disrespects a different Bitcoin wallet every hour. Maybe one of them will be yours? I'm sorry 😂

I once made a Twitter bot that was going through the dictionary and tweeting each word adding ‘with bacon’. Sadly, it got banned never leaving the letter ‘A’.

Check NIP-60 by nostr:nprofile1qqsv883854wt0xzp6lsxgqjacwyhrn799x8nzktj6296epwcvx3s5hgpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uckahz9, it does exactly that!

That’s where I got the idea from! The idea was so good I had to implement myself. I am actually following NIP-60 and using parts of nutshell python code.

Nostr will never be complete, nor will it be ready until the needs and problems present themselves. Over the last 20 months I have not witnessed major issues being tackled until they're front and center. The motivation to not fail is strong. The motivation to not solve issues that aren't apparent are often put on the back burners too. I feel we need a catalyst.

What’s cool about nostr is that I stood up my own infrastructure for dev and testing. I don’t require anyone’s permission for what I am doing. My take is someone will come up with something really cool without asking for someone’s permission.

Yep. Working on a wallet component where all proofs are stored as events versus using a Postgres database. Still ‘custodial’ but the user can walk away with the nsec of the wallet and port it to another, if they wish.

The general principle is to give every user the option of unilateral exit that can be exercised outside of the scope of the custodial service.

Nice! this is a tiny change for wallets, but a good one!

Social media was the impetus, so we wouldn't be here without the Great Twitter Rebellion.

But now we're here.

Yup, exactly. For that I am grateful. But I think there is something bigger - I haven’t put my finger on it yet, but I feel it in my bones.
