Murri. Jagera.

Economics is a scam. Keynesian vs Austrian is nothing more than a distraction for the plebs to argue over.

We live in an oligarchy. The oligarchs do whatever they want. They don't give a shit if you want to use labels like Keynesian or Austrian, they are meaningless.

Nation states don't choose between Keynesian or Austrian economics.

Nation states do what they are told to do by the oligarchs that paid to put them in power.

I bet your 401k is invested with the very oligarchs you're indirectly raging against.

So, that's what it's for. That's pretty cool.

"Curation" is what #censorship shall be called on nostr.

My prediction is that the #government nostr management and control plan for the masses is to drive the herds into these "curated" platforms like primal - either by "approved app" decree in most authoritarian territories or usual "influencer" propaganda; then force these corporate platforms to implement the same censorship tactics as on twatter, such as shadow banning.

We can already see influencers sporting primal accounts.

Sure, anyone shall still be able to post whatever they want on nostr network through other apps - as they can by having their own website now - but on the most popular nostr platforms, the "dangerous and harmful" content according to the "authorities" shall be "curated" out, and only visible to the "extremists" through "unapproved" nostr apps and "unregulated" relays.

Of course, that shall be done strictly "for your safety" and "organization". Naturally, such platform operators shall be handsomely rewarded through usual means for their "cooperation " in "protecting the public".

I bet that's at least some part of the Primal business plan and exit strategy.

Once dominant, the founders can sell it to the @elon of that era, and go on as billionaires to virtue signal through grants as nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqfny6r0 does against the herd manipulation platform they created with purest of intentions for #freedom and #liberty...

Behold, "The Grand Wurlitzer" arriving on nostr as expected!

What type of relay do you want?

A private relay for your drafts, settings and a permanent store of all your notes? I personally use Citrine on Android and nostr-relay-tray on desktop for that.

Or a public relay that'll get abused by spammers and chew up ram, bandwidth and storage faster than Windows11? I don't run a public relay because I'm not insane.

Every day, I'm using #Nostr more than #Mastodon/the Fediverse. Don't get me wrong, I really like the technology of the Fediverse and definitely think it has a place, but I'm just getting so sick of the toxic political garbage over there. All of that toxicity went to Mastodon when Elon bought #Twitter and it has made the last month or so completely unbearable, and I suspect it will only get worse leading up to the election.

It's wild when Twitter offers better, more productive discussions than the platform that the allegedly "enlightened side" fled to. I have no issues with different political opinions; if they can respect me, I'll respect them no matter how much I disagree (though I am quite firm on some moral issues). However, if you're anywhere even remotely right-leaning, you'll run into all sorts of people who are just waiting for the opportunity to waste time with antagonistic, truly hate-filled nonsense.

Meanwhile, Nostr's community seems to be focused on improvement: of technology, of the world, of the self.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a traditionalist who is massively against big government and would be considered right-wing. I get into political debates sometimes in my personal life. However, in the real world, you can end the discussion, walk away and do something else. Online, it's incredibly draining seeing that crap everywhere, especially when I see ignorance or comments that I STRONGLY disagree with.

Using Nostr (and my home/private life social network, MeWe) is a nice digital oasis to rest and recharge in before heading back out into the desert of AI, attention-hog influencers and genuinely hateful individuals.

How so?

I'm guessing because Primal has a custodial wallet built in.

Custodial wallets seem to upset some people.

It says that Pixel phones are vulnerable when someone has your phone, and your password, they can access your phone.

WHAT!!!

Is Wired owned by Murdock because that's Fox News level bullshit?

> You acting like this not happening normally in shadows.

Because it's not happening. You're suffering from paranoid delusions. and need professional help.

> Question: who are "the rich"?

Where is and who determines the line between "the rich " and "peasants like you"?

Your bank manager.
