I am a maxi too, but I would bet money that bitcoiners on social media are on average more stupid than the general public. And I am only talking about critical thinking, if we are going to consider emotional or social intelligence, then the situation is dire.

Not that defeats the purpose of avoiding vendor lock in, as I said, you might like to play with https://pkarr.org and see what it can offer.

Figured. I can't cross to the Greek Islands, but if you can cross to Kaş I can visit, Always happy for an excuse to go there.

Public keys can be made into sovereign TLDs so the server can always resolve the homeserver of a Public key (and more) just like you resolve the IP of a domain.

Check pkarr.org

Also, nostr relays talk to each others, just not as a part of the protocol, but at least all strfry relays have the option to gossip and sync with each other efficiently

I am sympathetic to the idea that servers shouldn't talk to each other, but if you do trust your homeserver, wouldn't it talking to foreign servers on your behalf, at least hide your ip among other things?

Not sure what leakage are you referring to and what is the threat model.

Not sure is that a criticism because it is not P2P? Or because it isn't a centralized server like Signal.

I enjoy Signal too fwiw.

I usually don't care much about leaking who I am talking to and when, vs the content of conversations.

But I understand the concern.

Matrix is amazing, the only downside is that it doesn't use self sovereign identity, but it should be easy to fix that. Some day. nostr:note1zathscafr3fyxy39k9hyjkjt9vkywfymd0ssereker2wcr62tp9sd0htjh

Counter point, you can trust whatever you choose to trust, including eating at restaurants without testing the food for poison, and of course custodial zaps.

No, they can delegate, web hosting have been a thing since forever.

are we going to pretend we can't trust servers that we are already in a trust relationship with to not fake our data?

Not everything needs to be that extreme, life is built on trust, as long as I can always fire a misbehaving server.

I am not sure they understand it. If they did, they would have realized that something like Pkarr + any normal HTTPS server satisfies the vast majority of the web usecases.

The only reason to sign data beyond that, is if you are publishing something worthy of gossip, like Torrent or Git repo.

You don't need a witness when there is only two parties involved, the client and the authority.

But instead people take about signing data in a very religious way. Users don't need to sign every damn thing, especially when the price of that is losing your identity every time you lose a signing key.

I desperately need people to understand that data doesn't need to be signed (be self-authenticated) if you download it from the authoritative source and you trust the DNS and e2ee between you.

If you don't have gossip infrastructure (and demand) in place, signed data is dead weight and larping.

The one thing that never happened in these lands, in 1000s of years of shifting powers, is mercy for falling elites. This is not Ireland, this is not South Africa, this is not Germany.

Minorities may survive here, but the defeated masters never live to try again.

They are scared, that's why they keep repeating "we are not going anywhere" like a self-soothing lullaby.

This is why they keep committing more brutal crimes against humanity, like tensing their feet on the landmine to make sure it doesn't relax too much.

Their demise is inevitable, and deserved.

zionists, by insisting on becoming a minority rulers in Mesopotamia, are like a man who voluntarily stepped on a land mine, they can't left their leg without losing it, but they also know their leg will eventually give.

"This genocide went for so long, that it lasted full pregnancies, and killed the mother and her new born children too."

zionism evil is unmatched, even by the middle east criteria and that is really something.

zionists continue, with full institutional backing, to steal people's land, and kill anyone who resists, then they will complain when that backfires later.

This is why you shouldn't condemn any violence against zionists, they deserve it

zionism is going to the remnants of the community you ethnically cleansed, and currently militarily occupy, and started burning their homes door to door while they are in it hoping to burn families alive, as they have done before.

If you bend backwards to assume the best I people, then "liberal zionists" are not evil trying to maintain the public image of genocide, but just entirely delusional and out of touch with their society's nature or at least present and future, but then they still deserve ridicule and shame.

Interesting framing, which isn't far fetched, but more importantly the internal politics became so deranged that he has to sound as deranged or he will lose to even more deranged politicians.

This is why I say the charade of liberal zionism is never happening again, despite people living in denial
