Probably a controversial point for Nostr users, but worth discussing.

Deutsche Bank has terminated the account of a UN accredited human rights activist.

AML/CFT laws are routinely weaponized to silence dissent without any recourse or due process. It's the outsourcing of policing powers to private institutions without democratic oversight, where the presumption of innocence and right to fair trial do not exist.

AML/CFT needs to be abolished today.

Imo nostr:

1. Got labeled under “crypto” in the tech world.

2. Is not an escape Elon destination like blue sky

3. Is not positioned well (censorship resistant) though that’s a really strong quality - people just don’t care)

4. Is not doing a good job to cater to groups of people jumping here

5. Is not catering to younger audiences - old people building apps for old people (yes I’m considering myself old here) - not saying it’s bad

6. Doesn’t have anything obvious going for it - it’s not actually the case but to an outside observer - they can’t tell what we’re excited about.

7. Is still hard to find things on

8. Lacks content

Doesn’t help that all of this also requires people abandoning their network - which almost never happens, hence need for more interesting use cases or join-as-a-group UX.

Not saying all the things I listed are bad either. There’s clearly something very important and very interesting happening here or we wouldn’t be here.

I love nostr! 💜 nostr:note1e8gzpmeum8tqzqg6sjkuxge7v764h9x49n7e000as0x40lpekazqfhwk8f

what is it going to be called? please tell me it won't end with "str"

I agree! I can't wait to get started on the client that implements this.

Testing going Nostr-only.

Fuck state censorship. 🖕

5 more hours and it will be the first time in 25 years I didn't put nicotine into my body

Feeling good so far, definitely gonna make it today

If you ask random people "who is the most famous classical music composer of all times" what will they say?
