It's physical warfare.. literally. Not a mtaphor... not an abstract idea.

#Bitcoin is warfare, embrace it.

2000 Mules is definitive evidence that the 2020 election was bullshit.

Just because the crimes can't be attributed to a single person or organization doesn't mean they didn't happen.

Being non-attributable is the entire point.

"Storytelling introduces a psychological attack vector where sapiens can be preyed upon. The most common way this happens in agrarian society is by telling stories to convince people to adopt belief systems where a select few people have abstract power. The problem is, abstract power is systemically exploitable. By convincing people to believe in abstract power, storytellers deliberately implant an exploitable vulnerability into people’s imaginations which they can take advantage of later"

Welcome to the bottom of the rabbit hole 🦌

And as far as I know there isn't any publicly known network currently being secured in such a way.

Sure nostr is a protocol, and you can take your npub to another client if for any reason Will becomes untrustworthy or exploitative with his control, so it's slightly more decentralized. But if a real black swan ever occurred and the people trying to snuff out free speech globally ever wanted to crack down it wouldn't be very difficult for them to coerce and extort the people running the various clients into compliance. Trust as a security strategy does not work over long time frames no matter how you encode the logic of your system.

Furthermore, the underlying architecture of the internet itself is systemically broken and insecure. So even if you can completely trust nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqprfmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdaksz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcgek0h3, unless the server he's hosting his client on is protected by Lowery's proposed proof-of-power wall API concept, its vulnerable to exploitation from outside belligerent actors.

Nostr is a trust-based, permission-based system. Their is nothing sovereign about requiring the permission of others to use their client. It may seem for the moment as if it's different, but it’s not.

Nostr is not superior to Twitter/X, it's still a trust-based system with the exact same cyber security flaws, the bot problem is arguably much worse here, the performance/optimization of the software is much worse.

Claiming Nostr is better because you are swapping out trusting Elon to trusting someone else's client is really dumb.

"Our computers never stopped being general-purpose state machines which produce artificial symbols and sounds and complex emergent behaviors via state changes. Without proof-of-real protocols like Bitcoin, these state changes are materially inconsequential, trivial to reproduce, thermodynamically unsound, and carefully designed by software engineers to present the illusion of something real, but isn’t actually real."
