But they can't force anybody to see the ads, as long as clients only show you pubkeys you follow.

"A middle-ground method that seems to be beginning to work at scale is the idea of distributed servers or 'relays'. In this model, not every user has to run a server, but individual servers are relatively easy to run, are financially incentivized to be run, and are therefore numerous enough that there is no way to control or censor the network."

Relays are run for fun nowadays. Most don't have proper funding. Donations could be an option. If clients start doing ads I think client devs then can make some donations from their earnings. Relays can't insert ads - the protocol is not suitable as far as I understand.

For the same reason ISPs have bandwidth caps.

Is it “political” to say increasing co2 levels will make the world greener because of photosynthesis, that there is only 2 genders and eating red meat is healthy for you.

This is what I was taught as a child before everything starting getting “political” as I got older.

Just a random thought on "Bitcoin🟠 uses too much energy".

Yes, Bitcoin uses energy.

There's nothing wrong on using energy.

If you don't need energy, you're probably dead.

Who's gonna decide what is good or bad use of energy and how much energy I may use?

Bitcoin mining uses energy that otherwise would be wasted and transform it into a digital commodity.

Nobody is forced to buy this digital commodity, it's everybody's choice.

Ok Nostr, me and #[0]​ are bored while packing (yes again), ask us anything or suggest songs for Sats 😍

So do you think Joe actually won the election? We need voting backed by bitcoin! Fake votes & fake money all rely on worthless paper!
