After tracking down the credit cards used to get the blue check we found the members of anonymous:

Most people in Ben's time understood the evils of the empire. Today most people are deluded into a deep sleep.

I have never been a twitter user for the obvious reasons, but I follow some people directly without an account. There are some people that I would like to see on nostr: where people may actually follow them without having agree to twitter terms and conditions.

Forever posts is actually a good thing. We will learn to proof read what we post, and be sure we think it to be correctly representing our intent. I have long believed that people who delete their posts on social media are not to be trusted.

The same can be said for 'dis-like'. It has meaning but the woke removed it in the same way they censor anything that is not reverberating off the walls in the echo chamber. The science is settled.

"...in conversations about climate change, we need to abandon the phrase The Science Says and replace it with the more honest “I think that …,” followed by supporting evidence. This would eliminate the rhetorical sleight of hand intended to define opinions as facts, and it would make it harder to dismiss legitimate opposing arguments as misinformation."

Climate science is a tool being used to bang out what the elite want. There is no longer any discourse or debate or even any reasoning. Only a hammer to the skull of those who do not agree with the latest edict.

There are other costs than cents. Holding wallets that you have no control over do not appeal to everyone. The time it takes to research holding or hosting it yourself is a cost.

This is spam and should be treated as such. Maybe the relays should impose an increasing fee/charge to npubs who make posts that require any level of moderation. No censorship, just an appropriate penalty.

Exactly. Reject nip 69. Let the relays clients and users figure out what works best. Communities will surface where they make the cost of posting spam and offensive content high enough that it will go elsewhere. Each relay is it's own entity. it's a protocol not a cop.

I trust apple like a big brother. As much as I trust that Google don't be evil.

Looks like I have some studying to do. This is encouraging.

Not seeing that keet is open source, keet, and the tools that holepuch provides to build it with. Anything that's not open source is a non starter.

Already reading! Thanx! 🤙

I was thinking the relays would do better to offload the whole private chat burden. There's no reason to relay it far and wide for public consumption. Maybe you are right and its more an outside of Nostr thing, and maybe thats the answer to people asking for it on the relays. Within the protocol or not, baking something into the client side would be better for both the user and the relays.

If users want a small private relay, they should have the option right in the client to host it peer to peer. And it would be great to be able to pass the role of (relay) host to anyone on the private channel. That way there are no third parties having the data in the first place, only the small circle of trust.

a 'bounty' of one hour?

The tagging scheme came from IRC, it was not new. New to the normies? yah.

The sad part is that most people do what they are told without any thought or concern for their fellow man. Even without regard for right or wrong. So much so that they take offense to those imposing on them that there is a right and wrong.

The leak is proof of what anyone paying attention already knew anyway. I used to believe the US was a nation of laws, but it is really just a notion of laws.

This is an interesting thought. I have been thinking a lot about how to use nostr like IRC. We need a nostrChat client...

1. client allows user to invtive npubs starting a chat

2. the user that starts the chat hosts it peer to peer: no relay needed, anyone can be invited

3. everyone that joins the chat is direct connected to the starting user's session (database)

4. database can be cleared after the chat ends, or the session can be passed off to any other user in the chat for them to host it.

Not sure if the protocol supports all that, but it should not be too much to add a nip. My idea of doing this peer to peer keeps from adding cost to the relays. Best way to code this would be an api that could be added to any client.
