“Relays are not decentralized enough.” “CEO of any Nostr company can also be arrested just like Telegram.” “Hard to find anyone. Not active enough.” Those are some I’ve come across.

If the nostr critics on X actually used nostr enough to understand it, they would understand why their criticisms sound so ridiculous to the point that they wouldn’t hold those criticisms at all.

Talk is cheap. When the government comes kicking, you're life changes. That hill you said you'd die on becomes real because you're forced to stand on it. Then you look at your kids, your spouse, the life you built, their futures, your life dead or behind bars for something made up.

This isn't dramatic, those who've been there know that I'm talking about. These actions happen in silence "why cover it in the news, they were clearly breaking the law".

These are very real events you need to know so we can build more resilient systems. Don't let your hubris convince you that you're safe. Most of my friends think I'm insane for building the tools I do, in my last gig and now. They told me to get out while I can, go do something more mainstream so you can sleep at night. To me, I'd get worse sleep living a "normal life" wishing I did something more, took a risk maybe, stood up for something I believed in.

you don't know what happens after death! something terrible happens

Doesn’t matter, since being mortal means at some point I’ll cease existing and will not contemplate being gone. Being immortal means the lifetime of the universe = my own lifetime, which is pretty much the same after perception of time adjusts to that lifetime. What actually matters is quality of life.

If given the chance, would you want immortality?

The day you can't burn the flag the flag no longer means what it is supposed to mean.

we need bigger numbers NOW

playing the "but child porn" card every time they want to enforce or widen censorship of information is getting old. But they play it again and again, like an old record.

They will freeze Pavel Durov's bank accounts but they can't freeze his millions in Bitcoin.....

Yes it's ironic he fled Russia because he denied Putin the same thing and then he gets arrested in France for the same thing.

Tyrants deserve death.
