Notes to Self Transmitted by Relay Fear is the enemy of hope and hope is an act of rebellion.

Double the gains and divide the losses.

Show up and exist.

It feels like devs are getting lots of feedback on here directly. Already.

But I hear you. I think more thoughts need to be put around keys handling.

It’s actually creepier somehow. Maybe it feels more real than scary fairy tales.

Money printing (aka quantitative easing, aka double spending) is a deus ex machina for societal problems where all of our understandings and wisdoms have failed us and to make matter worse, we have ran out of time.

Bring on the transformations.

Ai chat that doesn’t make me sign in wins.

On a long enough time scale, everyone will get banned. Everyone will end up on nostr. nostr:note1x5kxu4qdvhxwgewf5720gzf98x28clredhqvnc9f88rczw0akvtsynksha

Did you know nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0chkv5c now has a blockchain/shitcoin built in (called Flux)?

Did you know they've also started doing "content moderation"—blocking users, groups and 3rd party servers?

Yeah, so far it's only to stop CSAM distribution but we all know how that's a slippery slope. The good old "Think of the children" tactic. If there's a method to ban, block or censor, it will be used and ABUSED.

SimpleX Chat may have good #privacy but it's not decentralized, neither censorship-resistant. They also seem too concerned with complying with Google/Apple stores—“(...)there are requirements we have to comply with that exist outside of law, e.g. requirements of application stores.”

I also found out they are getting funded by VCS such a Village Global ( https://www.villageglobal.vc/ ), which have backers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Anne Wojcicki and others.

This is not freedom tech. I'm out. DYOR.

Why not use nostr?

Irrational fears:

I have tried

to follow

everyone here

since the early days of nostr.

I worry

there is a high probability

the folks that show up later

will have a high degree of phoniness.
