I just cancelled my account on Bluesky, although it's an interesting technology, it's unfixable because the people there are insanely leftist and pro-censorship

Nostr is my refuge, so I hope you don't get mad at me because I like Ethereum :)

Nostr is for everyone, right?

The Clipper chip was an NSA-developed encryption device (1993) designed to secure voice and data communications with a built-in backdoor allowing law enforcement to decode intercepted transmissions. It was defunct by 1996.

"American exceptionalism means Americans believe their local conflicts are global concerns, their cultural context is universal truth, and their ignorance of other perspectives is everyone else's problem."

I think to fix society we first have to fix our social (networks).

Every technology encodes a theory of who can be trusted. Manipulative tools assume people are dangerous and must be managed; convivial tools assume people are capable and deserve access. The architecture you build reveals which humanity you believe in—and slowly creates the humanity you assumed.

Is Nostr for anarcho-convivialists who support Ethereum?

Sorry for saying that AT Protocol has more potential than Nostr - I guess I had to see that for myself, the hard way. The people at AT Protocol hate the authors of Bluesky and their original goals and everything decentralized and it's impossible to build something censorship-resistant in this environment

"The AT Protocol is doomed because the community that adopted it hates everything it was designed to enable. And no amount of elegant architecture can overcome a culture committed to its own subjugation."

Perfect analogy. It especially hits when trying to explain the utility of stablecoins, tokens, or smart contracts to someone who only sees crypto as a store of value.

It's trying to explain why a DEX is better because you hold your own keys and don't need to trust a company, or how decentralized lending is more transparent and can't just freeze your funds, to someone whose only metric is "number go up." Their framework is digital gold, but we're talking about a digital economy.

You can't explain why digital cash (~stablecoins) is better for a coffee than a gold bar - you just have to pay with it :)

What do you mean? For example nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 is showing these close to zero fee rates finally and two 3 significant digits. Which I believe is desired.

Below 1 I would show the fractional part automatically. "~0" is just weird :)

Also priorities with fractional part could be more useful (at low numbers), when its "1" on all priorities it doesn't help much with fee setting

I have translated into English the post-mortem Paralelní Polis Prague by one of the co-founders Roman Týc

"The Democratic Web" by Neiman #HCPP24

This talk introduces the new internet governance model where users ("Webizens") democratically control the web through updated protocols and blockchain technology, challenging current corporate dominance.

I've done 4,000 km on an electric unicycle #EUC

Over the past 6 years, I used it for short trips in Prague, Kyiv and other cities

What's my experience?

TL;DR

Love it! Great for short distances around city. *Much* safer and comfortable than a e-scooter
