Literally implied nothing. 🤦‍♂️

Cuban has a good slogan: “like it or leave it” that’s how their democracy works

#nostr is where you give your content for free, sign and can be held responsible for it at same time you have 0 control where your notes are going to. <> #bitcoin

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Last time I configured relays I set nos.lol as my main one, and that one has seemed functional enough for now, so I haven't changed my settings, but I have been jumping around between different web apps on an old phone and not checking how each web app handles relays. I see it as real-world stress-testing.

I should put it like this, what I see with nostr is some censorship resistance, and a lot of potential for censorship resistance, but not enough censorship resistance.

People hype nostr's censorship resistance up like it's already hit one of these milestones when it hasn't yet:

* Clearly matching the functionality of state of the art electronic communications

* Clearly surpassing the rest, becoming the new state of the art in and of itself

* Pushing the state of the art back to where it was at the peak of human technology, like when Aaron Swartz was still alive at least

* Surpassing the most freedom of speech humans have ever had

I'm speaking for the paranoid here, including myself. When posts aren't always going through correctly, saying "censorship resistance" makes the software issues and slow pace of improvement look extra sus.

This is the best way I’ve found so far. I’ve used it multiple times to restore. Works really well

If you made an account on reddit 2 years ago, even though reddit was heavily censored, I would have been confident you could message me and have me receive it.

If you didn't want to make an account, I would have been confident you could find someone with an account, have them message me, and have me receive it.

That wasn't censorship resistance, that was a heavily censored level of functionality on a long-zombified reddit years after Aaron Swartz died.

Now I'm on nostr, where I do not suggest expecting messages to get through to me, especially on the mere first or second or third try.

That is not less censored, it's more.

The nostr protocol is designed to have the potential for censorship resistance. It's also a design that gets there very slowly, from what you can see today. Not there yet.

It’s my birthday ☺️🎉🥳🍾send me sats ❤️ thank you 🤭 #prague #birthday #queen

Good morning frens 🐸

Nostr isn't really that decentralized and is definitely extra-censored, not censorship-resistant. You need to think more

the realest bitcoiners don’t talk about bitcoin all the time, they just stack everyday and go on with life.

I finally found this here in Chicago! Few understand this! P.S. What do you think this is? #foodstr

I go on my moms Facebook from time to time and today was not the day hahahaha bro almost every post was Shittin on dads like very very negative 😪 😔

Would thesocial.zone be an NIP-05 that might be desirable? It currently hosts a dead fediverse instance that I'm shutting down this week. However, with the launch of Ditto, I'm considering bringing it over to Nostr...🤔🤷
