WhatsApp can't message Telegram. Not because it's hard. Because they don't want it to be possible. Nostr fixes this.

A lock doesn’t ask for your name. It only checks the key.
A chat app should be a door, not a border crossing.
If you have nothing to hide, you have no private life.
GM. If your messenger knows who you are, it knows too much.
Attempting to KYC the internet is a misunderstanding of how networks work: you can fence the platforms, but you can't fence the protocol.

GM. The best way to predict the future is to build the tools that make it possible.
Just a reminder that leaks aren't accidents. They are inevitabilities of centralized storage.
The only way to win is to leave the table. Exit to Bitcoin. Move to Nostr.

Look, if you want privacy, you have to do the work. Governments won't grant it. Corporations won't sell it. It’s on us to code it.
Let’s get to work.
The modern web isn’t designed for the user. It’s designed for the advertiser. They track your cursor’s hesitation to predict your weakness.
You aren't the client. You are the inventory.
Build on protocols. Platforms are just landlords.
If you have to think twice before typing, you've already lost your autonomy.
Significant progress requires the ability to have private thoughts. If you cannot think in private, you cannot think for yourself.
Privacy is the environment where progress happens. Without it, we don't evolve: we conform. @JeffG

Stop renting your privacy from corporations. Start owning it.
There is no such thing as free data storage. Someone is paying. If it's not you, who is it?
Math doesn't ask for a visa, and code shouldn't check your passport. Identity is a key you hold, not a location you live in.
We don't know who you are. That’s the best feature we have.
If an app requires your identity to function, it’s not a tool. It’s a registry.
Comfort is expensive. It costs you your freedom. The right path is rarely the easy one.
That’s why we build (on Nostr) 👏 @JeffG
