I made a post assuming the bulk of non-spam accounts without LNURLs were Chinese, but look at this in my global! Chinese Bitcoin Maxis on Nostr?! (Also notice use of 'Cantillionaire,' classic bitcoiner-talk)

Anyone know who runs the relay Nostr. plebchain. org ?

Richard Heart has removed a bunch of Hex stuff from his profile, and changed "Hex Staking" to "Hex Mining." Think Gary will fall for it?

This Bot I follow isn't showing up on my feed anymore. It let's me view the profile still, for now, but even after I click that, it won't let it come up on my feed. The simple act of following accounts and seeing their posts rather than what Elon's sick and demented AI wants me to see or not see instead is growing harder each time I pop over there.

The Nostr microapp reminds me of Jack Mallers talking about "Same Team" stuff, how Google got better as the internet improved. Owning Bitcoin became more valuable when it became not only Digital Gold, but also an amazing medium of exchange with Lightning. Every new microapp on Nostr makes having an Npub more alluring.

Imagine there were a few individuals in the Ethereum ecosystem that actually valued the right things. They surely are aware of the direction that their network is going. What, if anything, can be done to slow/reverse the persistent march towards censorship and centralization?
