Yeah that's why I didn't insert my key into it. I agree 100%
It depends on how you define censorship
Is it state-level? There having no government domains helps.
Is it individual? There Nostr wins, as there's no vote on illegal content like Bastyon has for child porn and such
Yeah of course, a lot of people in our group recommend it. But I think it needs servers to avoid the both people online issue
is this an audio leak or he publicly said it?
We have a Layer 1 node and will be adding lightning to it later,
what is the Bitcoin Layer 1 minimum requirement to open channels for minimum liquidity?
Russian Nostr:
Make Money Off Telegram's CEO being Jailed!?
I must say this first:
I promote the USE of cryptocurrency, and less so gambling on price.
However,
it's a struggle to get people to give a shit about freedom tech.
So,
With this extreme pessimism in mind, I pitch this amazing social network as an investment.
Bastyon is dubbed the "Russian Nostr",
Unlike Nostr, which is easily banned by Russian & Chinese authorities because it uses websockets to relays with known government domains… Bastyon nodes use torrents for files which functions completely independent of government DNS and works on nodes with constantly changing IPs.
Given the effectiveness at Bastyon’s proven ability to penetrate government firewalls in China and Russia, we can essentially guarantee that Bastyon will beat out Farcaster, Nostr, and Lens for the RUSSIAN MARKET when many Russians won’t or can’t even access the competition. In fact, even many US Big Tech companies are completely shut out of Russia. Even if just 1 or 2% of Telegram’s userbase moves over to posting on Bastyon, the coin would have to dramatically increase to even allow them to post daily.
Let's dive in to this trend:

It's very amusing that in the same thread, some people attack me for requiring too much technical skill to switch off WordPress.
And others bitch that Hugo is too normie, and build your own function
Hugo theme depends on the person's taste, that's art
Filezilla or other FTP clients would work for windows.
I hear you on getting people off it. It's a battle for anyone doing freedom tech. including nostr, monero, messengers, ect.
Keep in mind that the bulk of these WordPress sites don't just suck because it's WP, but the content
I hear you, and I personally think if the relays filter at a low threshold it should be fine, but if they up that, then you'd likely want a majority of the client devs (including mobile) to be on-board in education of whats going on
The "Center for Countering Digital Hate" has a plan to silence criticism of the government
Here's how their plan works:
Step 1) They use AI to make politicians do fake stuff (nicknamed "deepfake")
Step 2) They infiltrate left-leaning media to spread their "educational materials".
They'll say "Look at these deepfakes! That is possible! So we must educate the public on election disinformation"
Step 3) They put in people's minds that all digital evidence can easily be manipulated.
And since everyday voters can not ever access first-hand sources or interview key-people,
Then:
The everyday person can't trust online sources
Therefore:
They can only trust authorities telling them what is real.
You see, the book 1984 had them literally burn books,
The new strategy is to propagandize people to the point that they won't accept what's written.
how they dealing with the phone issue?
Gossip has PoW already
Google fonts makes a call to their server to load, revealing your IP. There's no reason to not have a local font, why do we need the internet for a font? What do we call it when someone does something to slow you down, with no benefit to you, but benefits them a lot?
lol not terminal. markdown in a text editor.
if one uses the basic default stock hugo templates, then it's gonna be easier than WordPress imho. If they want a custom design, then yeah your solution with Nitro is likely going to be easier for most people. I wish you a lot of success with it.
Well you don't need php for text and pictures static. In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final output
I consider WordPress malware because it's doing all of these calls to each plugin creator and the various big tech participants, but in a way that slows your VPS machine. So it's not serving you or the visitor, it's serving the software creator to benefit them. They want to monetize your data and are willing to hurt you to do so.
In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final product. So they could not even just display the text and pics
Local hosting means it works without internet using "hugo server" where you go to "localhost" in a browser
As far as woocommerce, it depends on how much data you're looking to collect from the customer. If you're okay with fields for email, name, address then Opencart, Abantecart, or one of the other similar ones in that family, that hook up to BTCPay or fiat processors.
Why does WordPress suck?
a) Slower for visitors
You're selling less business, people are walking away from your malware that loads slow.
Search engines punish slow speed.
b) Slower to make
I hope you like carpel tunnel. WordPress forces you to go in a browser and manually modify shit with a mouse, which is proven to hurt your hands in the long term. Plus it's slow load speeds to work on something constantly reloading on a remote server, so you're urinating on your own time. On top of network issues with Tor
c) Leeching Big Tech malware.
You're leaking to the government your income, your sales, and reducing your freedom of speech. While it's technically true WordPress is "open source", it has malware Google fonts by default on the front end, jsdeliver to function, and Cloudflare and Google on the backend. Then to do most tasks, you to install 3rd party plugins which are often closed source and have security vulnerabilities. This is because WordPress suffers from mission creep, where they want to do everything.
d) Hypocrite
You say you want decentralization, but your customers think you're a hypocrite. Most uBlock Origin users immediately see the google fonts and JSDeliver and know you're using WordPress. Now you're trying to sell them on your expertise, but you're using amateur tools.
e) WordPress plugins need constant updates for security, but your setup has a unique combination of plugins. Therefore, as time passes by, the probability of a unique failure increases, which costs more money to solve.
Instead, ditch bloat WordPress, and go with Hugo.
Hugo is a static site generator. This means it generates static content locally on your computer, then you upload and serve a finished static thing. On the other hand, malware WordPress has a live database, and then dynamically creates that content on the site while your visitors wait for it to load.
With Hugo, you don't need any coding knowledge to easily and effortlessly format text, add pictures, and change the layout of your articles, on your local offline computer with the keyboard like an alpha male, as opposed to a worthless carpel tunnel bitch clicking a mouse in a remote browser using Big Tech malware.
Consider reaching out to Simplified Privacy's on-staff graphic designer to help you transition your content over to Hugo, to become a master of your domain. (DM me)
Another interesting option if the spam problem on nostr increases, would be a proof of work based captcha like https://mcaptcha.org/. Basically the nodes could ask the clients to solve such a proof of work captcha, no human involvement.
for desktop, proof of work is great.
for mobile phones, most people won't want to do it
