IMHO the "how big a role should our government play?" Conversation is kind of secondary to "Do our institutions represent the will of the people?" If the answer to the latter question is no, then even when the government does nothing they do it maliciously. This is why the laissez faire discourse never touches the root of the problem in American politics, and effectively becomes arguing in favor of the status quo.

I'm so completely unconcerned with onboardimg when it comes to the long term view of NOSTR because it's such a versatile and powerful protocol. There's a reason why I went through the trouble of getting set up here even though I was already off proprietary platform and on the fediverse. Not to mention we're riding the Bitcoin adoption coattails in a way as well. There's no reason to take drastic action to onboard new users lolbwe just need to be patient (and a little evangelistic)
My goals going into 2024:

Lfg fuck the noise
Then the US military is not your ally. Much love bro we all get heated talking about things with such deadly ramifications. But for real, the US is not your ally.
Perhaps uncalled for but you may as well be actively calling for the US military to invade your homeland
United States intervention created the Taliban. The CIA armed them and trained them. I don't endorse the current Iranian government but any country that has been subjected to US military intervention is worse off. Even Korea: the yanks went in, massacred 10% of the CIVILIAN POPULATION, installed a puppet government in the south, and the Kim regime still exists, so what exactly was accomplished? Anyone who welcomes the US military into their country regrets it after they destroy their infrastructure and kill their families. If you're actually from Iran, I implore you to look more into the dark truth and cold motives behind US intervention in the middle east.
Thank you for your input, officer. Do you think the Vietnamese, Laotians, Iraqis, Libyans, and Afghans would agree?
You're helping blaze a trail that the world will follow, best of luck!
The whole point of ActivityPub (and NOSTR for that matter) is to create a decentralized and truly public online social infrastructure why the hell would you use an AP implementation owned by Meta. It's as nonsensical as putting your hard earned money in a volatile cryptocurrency whose nodes are all owned by the same foundation
Threads is the VC shitcoin of microblogging lol. "OK so what if we use this protocol that allows everything to work in a decentralized way at a slight cost in user experience but like we still own it all." OK what if you go fuck yourself?
Don't run from cognitive dissonance, seek it out, dive in, and resolve it.

Because these "private audits" are really just labor laundering schemes, the negligent practices IS the product being sold
