I was recently updated with knowledge of this story, and you should be updated too, if you aren't already.

Iโ€™ll give you the whole story โ€” as well as a simple way you can help โ€” below โฌ‡๏ธ

Ross Ulbricht is an Eagle Scout, scientist, and entrepreneur. Heโ€™s well-known for his kind and gentle demeanor. ๐—›๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ.

And yet, the media smeared Ross and spread false information about him. In the course of his โ€œtrialโ€, his 4th and 6th Amendment rights were violated. Whatโ€™s more, corrupt agents and prosecutors destroyed evidence and fabricated allegations against him, and the judge used those unfounded allegations to justify his cruel sentence.

Ross has acknowledged that he committed nonviolent crimes, which he deeply regrets, but the punishment is grossly disproportionate. All other defendants with similar charges were sentenced to ๐Ÿฒ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€ in prison on average, but Ross will be in prison for the rest of his life.

Join the 500,000+ calling for Ross's release. Scan the QR code to sign the petition, so that perhaps one day, Ross Ulbricht will get his life back.

10 years is enough.

Beware the #Metaphors of the Extremes๐Ÿ‘‡

See them ๐Ÿ‘, but noticed they are all reply notes, no โ€œfirstโ€ notes. And it looks like some nostr clients (like Primal) donโ€™t show replies to other notes in a userโ€™s profile so it may appear you have no notes published.

I asked the previous iteration of the nostr:npub1tayp5jjjfqx4ufukxqamsl28wd5pggvteqe6u9n3svjn62lfr0hsp89l42 to make a comparison between #Nostr and the #Fediverse and this is what it replied:

โ€œWhile they share similar principles of decentralization and user control, there are fundamental differences between them. The most significant distinction lies in their underlying architectures and the types of content they primarily focus on. Nostr is designed as a base layer for information exchange, with a specific emphasis on short text notes or tweets.

In contrast, the Fediverse platforms like Mastodon and Lemmy have a broader approach, enabling communication and interaction across multiple types of content and media formats.

Another significant difference lies in the protocols they employ. Nostr operates on its own unique protocol, with a specific focus on identity-native and value-enabled information exchange. On the other hand, the Fediverse platforms utilize protocols like ActivityPub (Mastodon) and Lemmy API (Lemmy), allowing for intercommunication, cross-platform interactions, and a more interconnected network of instances. โ€œ

Hope it is useful in some way ๐Ÿ˜…

Running a #bitcoin node is the equivalent to having a digital bunker. You have everything you need to be self-Reliant โ˜‚๏ธโšก๏ธ
