zionists are trying to distance themselves from their own atrocities, pretending that the problem is in their current government, not in zionism. They will never get any other sort of government ever again.

What went wrong, so that a free library, is still richer browsing experience than the internet?

Would the illegal websites issue be less problematic if the encryption is end to end?
The main argument for proxies then are that personal relays might have less capacity and/or availability than proxies that are basically trustless caches or CDNs at this scenario
Driven and honest >>>>> Expert and correct.
As the former can obtain expertise and correct their wrongs, but without drive nothing gets done, and without honesty you can't even face the fact that nothing is getting done let alone efficiently or wisely or in good taste.
Watching Americans censor themselves so hard, and wisely so, makes me wonder if the USG only speaks softly because they are carrying a really big stick, while ruthless authoritarian regimes are just compensating for a precarious control over their societies.
"Stop Antisemitism" abused that term so much that their account is nothing but a constant signaling of how ineffective that accusation became, absolutely no one gives a fuck and rightly so.
Nuh, I like you, but this is a word salad of confusion. I can only tackle one point per post, so I'll just pick something.
Nostr has an identity part, and a relay part. The identity part is valuable. It is valuable with relays and without relays.
As you say, another way the same keys are used are in bitcoin, which is a financial network, or time chain. There are no relays, but the same idenitity and signature system.
Fortunately for nostr, and unfortunately for some rivals, DID complete messed up how these identities can be used in other contexts, they took a decentralized identifier (which I actually made for bitcoin) and made it centralized and added shit coins. It works, but it's fundamentally broken.
Using nostr identity can be used in other contexts that relays and bitcoin. This is a whole new wave on innovatoin to be opened up. The NIPs are not doing it, right now, they are in fact more of a technical debt collection of hacks, which is OK.
I've started on an extensible way to use nostr identity together with web standards, which is what DIDs were supposed to be.
I'm slowly putting together a structured web standards friendly integration of nostr and the web, but there is little appetite right now for an extensible scalable arch for nostr, which is again OK : https://w3id.org/nostr
There's really no one doing this right, not AP, not Solid, not IPLD, not "web5", not DID, not bluesky. Nostr is probably in last place on the list right now, but has the most potential. With a clean identity system in multiple contexts you can easily scale to billions of people.
So facebook continue to win, and Elon wants to build his super app but has no clue how to do it. It will be interesting to watch the future unfold.
You are calling a keypair an identity, because eventually there will be web standards that Nostr refuse to use, but you insist to call that Nostr still.
That is ridiculous, why do you call it Nostr and not just Bitcoin identity then?
Openvibe is great, ot definitely favors Bluesky and Mastodon though, since Nostr has no key delegation, so if the -closed source- app leaks your keys, you are screwed.
As I said, it is a separate identity ONLY if you consider npubs ... just pubs lol. The only thing that makes npubs separate from bitcoin any secp is that they have attached data that can only be found on relays. And since Nostr has no proper way to map keys to relays, running your own relay after the popular ones die is useless, all because nostr devs refuse to be pragmatic and realize DNS existed for a reason.
And as you say, delegation is being deprecated and it never took off, and no actual discussion about it is happening other than nsecbunker.
And this unique value proposition is nonsense, any DID or Pkarr or any domain name with DNSSec can specify a secp key and gain these advantages, while still being resolvable in the first place.
Hello from Openvibe!
Very few people understand the value of hashes and signatures in Nostr, they think it is sovereignty thing, it is not, it is lack of authority thing. If nostr had an authoritative strongly consistent server for each user, hashes and signatures would be limited to gossip through 3rd parties, but because there isn't any authoritative servers (some try to add that in retrospect with outbox model) all parties are 3rd parties.
Nostr is not trustless from the user's point of view, no user ever checked if the content of the post they are reading actually match the hash or correctly signed, that is larping.
self authenticated data is an efficiency optimization, NOT security feature.
There is no need for a NIP, if Nostr devs can't be bothered to do what Fiatjaf wants, ain't no chance anyone will care to integrate a whole incompatible identity (npubs are entirely different curve than ed25519).
the only viable solution is to start over :)
Again, that is like saying you can't spec DNS ... you can, and you absolutely should for there to be web at all... at all

Even if you implement nostr “perfectly” according to nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 , you would still get empty profiles and threads when you run into the fact these smaller relays go down all the time.
this is like saying "web servers go down all the time, so why bother with DNS"

imagine if finding the ip address of a domain was a philosophy not a spec... please don't build a web3.0 if it is going to suck at the most basic functions of web1.0

“The [Relay] hints system will never be sufficient, because it encodes changing data into immutable events. The gossip system can be much better (though not perfect), because pubkeys are far more permanent.” ~ nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn
If you change all your relays after being censored (the main value proposition of Nostr) then all your Relay hints break.💔
Relay hints are horrible.🙂↕️
do you want to have this mind-numbing argument with everyone, or do you want URLs to work? use pkarr.org

That is precisely the reason nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is producing all these posts... to put the problem into developers faces so they can smell it up close.
Without the ability for clients to fetch notes from (perhaps the only relay that doesn't censor them) as specified in the nevent that points exactly to where that note can be found..... then what was the point of making a decentralized protocol?
sigh... guys, if we are going to reinvent the web, we better start by not failing at what DNS has been doing reliably before we were born. and yes I will post the link again pkarr.org
