That's why I run my own public relay.

People who have never been shadow banned or overtly banned will not understand or appreciate the value of censorship resistance.

Before I deleted FB a couple years ago, I had been repeatedly banned for selling gun parts and ammo on their marketplace.

My lowly Twitter account was shadow banned until I bought Elon's verification status.

None of that shit will ever happen to me on Nostr.

Nostr is censorship *resistant*, not censorship *proof*. The fact that there are multiple relays and clients to choose from is what makes that possible. Individual clients/relays have always been able to (and will always be able to) censor, but unlike with Big Tech Social Media -- you don't have to put up with it. You have a choice. That's the difference.

I've never been a fan of Telegram. I use it for a few contacts that have it as their primary communication app, but I've never found it particularly useful or superior to other alternatives.

With that being understood, what alternative would you propose? I'm open to ideas.

FEEDBACK NEEDED:

Would you find this reminder too intrusive? It would disappear after the person sent a ⚡ and would not reappear for a certain period of time depending on the size of the ⚡ (for instance, if somebody gave the USD equivalent of $5 it would go away for 30 days). If you've already sent a ⚡ of whatever size, it won't show up at all until that time period elapsed.

I don't want it to be too intrusive, but I also want to remind people that my time and the hardware required to run NostrGram aren't free.

Since this is a viewpoint question, any ⚡ sent to this note in the first 30 minutes will be distributed among the people who reply in the first 30 minutes. 🙏 for your feedback.

Sorry to keep switching the relay list. I’ll say it again running a reliable public relay is no walk in the park and requires real time monitoring + time to fix issues.

On behalf of🍷nostr.wine we salute you, free relay operators 🫡

Going to Walmart for one item. Hopefully I don't walk out with the entire store.

All governments are extortion rings, taxing the poor to fill their pockets, show me a honest politician?

Nice, concise way to word a valuable idea.

Sure, but I'm asking about you personally. What compels *you* to ⚡ rather than just ❤️?

What's the difference between nostr.check.com and nostryfied.com?
