I understand. Amethyst does the same thing to me sometimes.

Though what I REALLY want is the ability to collapse replies. My current version of Amethyst sucks balls when viewing really long threads. I was spoiled by Funnyjunk.com before they exiled me 4 times.

Damn, I should go back and bug them again sometime.

A very convincing argument, but my iron willpower only faltered for a moment. I refuse to abandon my current distro (Linux Mint with extra steps) without good reason.

I'm confused, why would I unfollow you nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqls63sm? I'm unfollowing nostr:nprofile1qqs0f74kketdcv63r53mlzgzfh93we3dkgzkldv2p6g62a8gf3g92yqpg3mhxw309ahhsarjv3jhvctkxc685d35093rw7pkwf4xwdrww3a8z6ngv4jx6dtzx4ax5ut4d36kw6mwdpa8ydpkdeunyutzv9jzummwd9hkutcpg3mhxw309a3xjarrda5kuu3kv3jn2mrtweurgarswajx67njv3nxgurvvy6hx7tpxfskvamsvdsky6n4wqe8surfx4j82mrzv9jzummwd9hkutcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcr9w6dn.

He's on that distro-hopper grindset. When he finally settles on a Linux distribution his productivity will no doubt dwarf the efforts of us mere mortals.

Oh damn, I should probably unfollow you then.

What if a relay doesn't want to sync with another relay? What if the other relay has 100,000 unfiltered spam notes, or worse, 5 notes that contain hate speech? Would your proposal require relay operators to download those unwanted notes?

What do you mean?

Erotic

Then they should probably get a job. Or find someone willing to give them money without being forced.

Do they have any of those that are squishy and that would fit between the back of my hand and the inside of my glove? And that cost pennies to manufacture?

They cannot edit the database because they do not manage the users' private keys. All they have access to are the signed notes that users decided to give them, and the public keys to verify the signatures of those notes. And nothing stops the user from sending their signed notes to multiple relays.

Nostr detaches users and relays, leaving every note to stand on its own. This is in contrast to how ActivityPub strongly associates users with instances. As a result, Nostr users are more independent than Fediverse users, but in return they miss out on a lot of very considerable advantages of the Fediverse setup. Because relays don't own or control users, they basically have zero natural incentive to care about the quality of Nostr.

Also, all of the users on this gay platform are Bitcoin fanatics. Please send help; I'm losing my mind.

Yes. I'm not saying whether it's good or bad. I'm not saying whether I want to live here or somewhere else.

But if it's an elected representative then it isn't individual consent. If it's public votes then it isn't individual consent. The only person with the authority to consent to a payment is the specific individual making the specific payment.

I think it's good to avoid depending on non-consensual interactions such as taxes. As far as I'm concerned, deporting anyone who depends on welfare is perfectly reasonable.

No clue. From a short web search it looks like less popular Tor with shitcoin jammed in.

Lol, the first one looks like a troll. The second one is just retarded.

I'm talking about using the same username on the clearnet and the darkweb. I'm talking about having the bad luck of using a state controlled exit node, and then obliviously deciding to open another tab and check your email. I'm talking about casually chatting with airport security about your international drug trading website. I'm talking about discussing with one of your hacker buddies on a darknet forum how your own entry in a stolen database has some really quirky feature about it. I'm talking about purchasing Bitcoin in your own name, and then using that Bitcoin to try to buy child porn from an FBI honeypot. I'm talking about downloading files posted by federal agents on a random darknet booru.

And those are just the lowest hanging fruit. Tor is not a silver bullet. Tor can NEVER BE a silver bullet. Everyone wishes they could crack Tor, but the truth is that with all the attention and effort being put towards criminals and scoundrels, they often don't need to. It's surprisingly easy to craft impenetrable technologies. But the mentality required with secrecy is not so foolproof, even when one has the right to that secrecy. I see it as an inustice, even when a criminal is caught using such dishonorable tricks. That's why it's so important to know where our tools protect us, and where only our competence protects us.

What do you think about VPNs operated by private organizations?

Maybe they gave un-tumbled bitcoin to an FBI CP honeypot. Back when I fucked around with that shit I saw a lot of websites asking for Bitcoin payments. Even back then I didn't want to actually support child molesters so I never considered taking up those offers, but it seems like a plausible explanation to me.

Brave hero.

The setup is weird, but the punchline is hilarious.
