Amethyst does.

I’m not a dev or a tech expert, but the decentralized nature of a protocol (in this case #nostr) where it is run in many distributed #relays (databases), makes it difficult to get censored/banned. You’d have to take all the relays down at the same time to hurt it; that’s the whole point, that’s the power of decentralization.

Regarding the IP address, I don’t know if relays store it. And an #nsec for every post would be impractical imo.

A good part of the #Bitcoin feed is now on Nostr.

When I had the #Apple #iPhone I thought the experience was quite good.

Correct. The voice of reason on the personal data points, thanks.

And the logic of the censorship resistance? Is Nostr never going down because of safety in numbers of relays on the network?

On an individual level, what protects activists from being doxxed if a relay can see the IP address of users? New nsec for every post. A VPN and an onion relay as standard for using Nostr truly anon?

Hope that's not too many questions!

I cant stop thinking what lots of different server runners might be doing with my notes instead of one person at company HQ! I'm really struggling with the relay concept. By the time I or a lot of other users find out a relay has been taking the piss and selling data and who knows what, the user concensus view is irrelevant? Still looking for a 101 on what I am missing.

With phones in everyone's pockets, we've eliminated boredom.

But also eliminated contemplation along with it.

I have been on X for 13 minutes this week, and Nostr for 6.5 hrs, and I feel at peace honestly.

The X algorithm is evil. I love you all

Once you’ve experienced the freedom nostr affords, you can’t imagine going back to centralized platforms.

I’m seeing more and more comments like this. You love to see it. And this is how we win.

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.

A few Normie friends joined, saw the horrid uncensored chaos that is the global feed and quit immediately. If you aren’t a decentralization, privacy, or BTC maxi before joining it’s a really jarring transition that will immediately repel a lot of normies.
