Spend enough time on Nostr and you'll realize something.
There may not be a more politically, culturally, religious or philosophically diverse group of people on the internet.

Knowing a thing and being told a thing are different and most people can’t tell which. Reformed Christian, Nostr class of 23, I think

The older I get, the more I'm convinced that reliability is a superpower.
The world has a shortage of those.
I never removed anyone from my life. They just kept making moves that told me exactly who they were, and at some point you stop being surprised and start being grateful for the clarity. Most people will show you everything you need to know. You just have to stop making excuses for what you’re seeing.

In the 90s the US government called encryption a weapon. Same export list as missiles. They went after the man who wrote PGP and built a case to put him in prison.

They printed the source code as a book and walked it through every airport on earth, because you can’t ban a book.
They beat the most powerful government on the planet with a printing press.
That exact move is happening again right now. It’s the reason nobody can deplatform you here. Most people have no idea they’re standing inside it.
This is the fight you’re already in. Read it

They can't ban the math, so they jail the mathematician. SMH
JUST A REMINDER THAT THE WORLD HAS GONE F%*+NG INSANE AND EVERYONE IS STILL PRETENDING IT'S NORMAL.

Please don't ruin your soul to fit in an ugly society.
You want to know what’s going for Nostr? Nobody can take it from you. No board vote. No terms of service update. No deplatform. A thousand relays and your keys in your pocket. Most of the internet would kill for that problem

Interesting quote from A Bug's Life...
You let one ant stand up to us, and they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if we ever let them figure that out... THERE GOES OUR WAY OF LIFE! It's not about food. It's about keeping those ants in line.
Them: What do you do for a living?
Me: God's work.
Them: Oh, you're a minister?
Me: Not quite...
