There appears to be an issue on Primal where posts get a ton of fake replies. (Notes show many replies that are not there)

What does not kill nostr makes us stronger.

I noticed that most of the time it's those who don't work on anything that keep telling other people what they should be working on instead.

😉

I can understand people not abandoning traditional social networks where they’ve made big investments of time & energy to build an audience…

BUT I cannot understand refusing to invest ANY time and energy into a protocol that can’t be shut down.

It’s like buying a huge, expensive house, filling it with your favorite things, then putting candles in every room, but refusing to add a smoke detector or buy insurance. You’re just begging to lose everything.

Any investment made into a centralized service, ESPECIALLY one that is known for censoring people and shutting down accounts for no reason, should at MINIMUM require an equal investment into a decentralized alternative.

If everyone who was aware of the problem did this, #Nostr wins.

I have been chasing this story since October 2023.

I spoke to sources in Gaza whose Binance accounts had been frozen – The addresses they provided were not listed in Israel's official seizure orders.

I was then put in touch with Turkish and Saudi Arabian nationals whose Binance accounts were frozen, who were allegedly told to contact Israeli police.

The claim that Binance is freezing all Palestinian accounts, to my knowledge, is not correct. And this is what kept the story from being published.

Palestinians in the Westbank appear to be unaffected, while Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were only affected so long they had a certain balance in their account. But we couldn't figure out what that threshold was, as communication into Gaza was effectively cut off.

So I reached out to other news outlets hoping that I'd get help investigating the story. I reached out to CoinDesk editor in chief Kevin Reynolds, both via email and on the personal phone number he gave me – and got ghosted.

I reached out to Forbes, who were initially interested in the story, but Forbes refused to let me publish under my pseudonym.

Just recently I reached out to Bennet Tomlin

and Cas Piancey of Protos and got ghosted there too.

In November 2023, a journalist from Reuters contacted my source to write about the account seizures, but dropped the story as well.

Binance owes us an explanation under what legal framework it seizes the accounts of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip not listed in official seizure orders, and under what legal framework it seizes the accounts of foreign nationals on behalf of the Israeli government.

Hello everyone, I’ve literally just joined the Nostr community and I just wanted to say hello. 👋

Trump just released his *4th* NFT drop, but this time it’s on Ordinals so it’s totally not shitcoining, right?

Currently tied up writing code for my fiat job, but my mind keeps drifting to the possibilities of coding within the #Nostr protocol to push the boundaries of free speech.
