If I had 21 sats for every advertisement I've watched in my life.. 😁

I spend a lot of time lately wondering why Twitter exists. Is it the megaphones? Is 'news' just a megaphone? Is popularity impossible to have and not be tortured by? Is the Internet just a signal flare for the interconnected quantum consciousness to focus on you and cause you to go insane?

Stay tuned after more words from our sponsor, hypno-toad. 🐸

We are using Nostr right now despite all those problems you aren’t really mentioning.

A sheer amount of features and improvements have been shipped so far addressing yesterday’s and todays problems and the focus should remain there.

Well, it sounds like you didn’t watch his presentation. Nostr changes everything because it handles coordination and communication for the masses. There were no lies in his presentation or note.

Layer 1: Money

Layer 2: Payments

Layer 3: Communication

What do they all have in common? They are all permissionless censorship-resistant protocols. No single entity controls them, so it’s perfectly ethical to promote them. As I mentioned earlier, Mutiny added Nostr and instantly became better than Venmo with very little effort. Having a protocol for coordination and communication changes everything.

They go hand in hand.

You can't solve a social problem without the ability to communicate.

Pockets of people who do what's necessary to continue communications boost each others morale as they communicate with the people around them.

How is Nostr different? It's different because we are both here, rather than meeting at a tree, on my website, or on a centralized platform that can kick us out 🫂⚡️🤙

It’s simple. Nostr is a protocol, not a platform. It’s censorship resistant and permissionless. It’s the only place that allows Lightning users to react to messages by “Zap” instead of “Like”. The possibilities are endless. Check out Mutiny wallet. They added connectivity to Nostr, so the wallet works just like Venmo. Telling people to join a protocol is very different than telling people to join a centralized platform. It’s like the difference between promoting commodities vs unregistered securities. One is ethical, the other not so much.

True, but it’s been over a year, and it could have been a lot worse!

I see it as us having the time to build and prepare for these issues to come.. It feels like we are building a sold base.

So far so good at least.

And yes, it’s almost Friday 🫂

You and I are literally using it right now! 🤣🫂

It’s a small group, but we are growing and will be discovered more and more.

Isn’t it awesome knowing none of us have been censored, canceled, shadowbanned (besides that one app..), had our accounts closed, kicked out, told what to say, been part of an algorithm scheme to take our money and attention, our vote, forced to give KYC, we haven’t been bombarded by bots, fakes and scammers, None of us. It actually feels really good when you think about it.

Congrats, nostr is working 🫂🤙🎉💜

“Free speech and privacy are national security threats.” - USA (2023)

Brief speech of condemnations, on or about 11 November 2023

Prince Turki Al-Faisal

Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief and former envoy to US, UK

All military occupied people have a right to resist their occupation, even militarily.

I do not support the military option in Palestine.

I prefer the other option: civil insurrection and disobedience.

It brought down the British Empire in India and the Soviet Empire in Eastern Europe.

Israel has overwhelming military superiority and we see in front of our eyes, the devastation and oblivion it is brining to the people of Gaza.

I categorically condemn Hamas' targeting of civilian targets of any age or gender, as it is accused of.

Such targeting belies Hamas' claims to an Islamic identity.

There is an Islamic injunction against the killing of innocent children, women and elders.

The injunction is also against the desecration of places of worship.

I also condemn Hamas' gifting the higher moral ground to an Israeli government that is universally shunned, even by half of the Israeli public as fascist, miscreant and abhorrent.

I condemn Hamas for giving this awful government the excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its citizens and bombing them to oblivion.

I condemn Hamas to further undermining the Palestinian Authority as Israel has been doing.

I condemn Hamas for sabotaging the attempt of Saudi Arabia to reach a peaceful resolution to the plight of the Palestinian people.

But equally, I condemn Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Palestinian innocent civilians in Gaza and the attempt to forcibly drive them into Sinai.

I condemn Israeli targeted killing and the indiscriminate arrest of Palestinian children, women and men in the West Bank.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I've been hearing a repeated phrase in American media: unprovoked attack.

What more provocation is required to make it provoked than what Israel has done to the Palestinian people for three quarters of a century?

I refer you to the article in the Middle East Monitor of February 17, 2014 under the title: Israeli army veterans admit role in massacre of Palestinians in 1948.

Read it and weep as I did.

Just this year, from May to July, over 450 Palestinians were killed, including 67 children.

This bloodletting must stop.

I condemn Israel's stealing of Palestinian lands.

I condemn Israeli colonists for rampaging through houses of worship in Al-Asqa Mosque in Jerusalem.

I condemn Israel for destroying Palestinian homes and olive orchards.

I condemn Israel for incarcerating Palestinian women, children and men in concentration camps without recourse to due process.

I condemn Israel's targeted killings and assassinations of Palestinians.

I condemn Israel for funneling Qatari money to Hamas, the terrorist group as defined by Israel.

I condemn Western politicians for shedding tears when Israelis are killed by Palestinians, but refuse to even express sorrow when Israelis kill Palestinians.

There are no heroes in this conflict. Only victims.

But you can’t add a link on Twitter without being logged in, so maybe that’s the difference. Non-KYC Two-way communication vs one-way KYC communication.

Twitter is a centralized platform. Nostr is an open protocol. One requires KYC and permission. The other doesn’t even require an email.

Basic idea for validating is a review of the work, 1-5 star, with a comment. But that would require an event structure.
