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.

You may not like it, but this is how regular people think, even those who are open to Bitcoin

True story 😶‍🌫️ I turned off the TV many years ago.

So...

Brazil is hunting down people who wants to share information on X now?

That's a tad dystopian, no?

Doing things you love brings mediocrity. Loving things you need creates prosperity.

Lol, Brazilians are heavily searching for "VPN" right now according to Google. One does love to see it:

It can only be profitable in the extremely unlikely case¹ that one of them finds a block, because SOLO MINING IT IS! 🙌

I'm not interested in pocket money, it's all or nothing.

¹ Though just recently a Bitaxe actually found a block.

Seems like nostr would be a great protocol for blogging. Anyone know of any clients? #nostr #writing #blogging

A Brazilian justice just ordered Apple and Google to ban not only X but also any VPN app. There’s also a $10k/day fine for any person using a VPN to access X. Unbelievable.
