Why I think Nostr is an alternative to people under autocratic regimes like Venezuela:
1) Inmune to Regime Control and censorship, so if the regime blocks social media (like it happened with X in Venezuela 6 months ago), Nostr cannot be blocked.
2) Decentralized and each user will own their account and followers.
3) Nostr is also a payment rail in BTC. This is KEY for freedom activists and regular citizens. At some point billions of $ of remittances will be able to be sent directly, fast and mega low cost.
4) Nostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom.
5) expanding the community of Nostr people under autocratic regimes will be going to the frontline in the fight for freedom. There will be lots of learning and action.

Already on that line
It is a no brainer for content creators and activists ... for the rest there is no incentive ..
Common person is attracted to new interface - not the ideals of #protocol . Unfortunately all the clients are replicating the existing platforms in terms if interface.. normal X user has no reason to come to nostr ..
it's true, here is a lot of difference with any social media like X, Instagram, etc. but also is a combo as you describe it, here are a lot of content (including +18)
Your self-criticism is impeccable! I think exactly the same! This network is completely free, it gives priority to those who need it most and in the process they learn to use the platform and interact without fear.
There is still ISPs and DNS providers, to access the internet and also most clients will have their clients attached to a doimain... is there any .onion clients or other ways to overcome this layers that could censor access?
@ODELL @Gigi
View quoted note โRelays with onion addresses could help to keep it online and also protect people from retaliation in hostile environment.
Well said
great
I hope I will live to see Venezuela free from the dictatorship ๐
Lol immine to censorship? Iris and amethyst ar shadow banning users as we speak
Also , many wot relays algorithms are censoring users based on the reports their followers make on other users
Bro you are not sensored, people just ignore you. Even if those clients โshadow banโ you, you can still be around and replay to people. Thatโs the joke of all of these, even if groups avoid you, they can not totally delete you from here.
Stop being retarded.
You missed all the evidence directly from the Amethyst dev
I saw the convo with Vitor. You can be seen on those clients actually. I think you donโt know what shadowbanned means. Or donโt understand the implications of being actually banned.
Uh ... Yes ... You missed the entire point
You need to turn off security filters
Its on by default
No clear explanation to what it does
In the early days of tw and many other social media there was no incentive to join, until there was.
Nostr elude autocracias y las llamadas "democracias ejemplares" que imponen el control sobre cada uno de nosotros.... y lo naturalizamos !!!!๐๐๐๐
Are you serious .. I joined twitter in 2007 .. it was such a novel thing .. and then using texting as a tweet was even more exciting cuz not many had smart phone .. what is new in nostr from user excitement standpoint ? .... it is a great protocol but all the clients are slam dunk of existing interfaces .. unless we discover something new from user experience standpoint , nostr is just a backend ...
That said , I am hopeful ..cuz upuntill now the protocol was a paradigm shift even for devs .. I am sure they will discover a cool interface .. new devices .. new processes .. gamechanger is still not here !

Love it. Thank you #Nostr for giving us a voice ๐งก๐
El problema con nostr es que en sitios donde el internet no es bueno consume muchos datos. No se si es el caso en Venezuela, pero puedo imaginar que es asi
Awesome.
Are you still "fighting for democracy"?
Have you not seen yet that Bitcoin works precisely because it's absolutely non democratic essence?
Have you not seen yet that every democracy evolves into a dictatorship?
Nostr is widely used in China.
Of course, not much due to limitations, but there is plenty of Chinese in Nostr.
Iโm glad I am not the only one who saw a certain correlation.
Even people who disagree with you politically should back what you say about NOSTR 100%.
We all saw it. Why do you think these posts always get 50+ likes?
We are being manipulated.
They come with an already cooked message for nostrโs people and a wallet well configured. โMango bajitoโ as we would say in Venezuela.
About what you shared on Guaidรณ, I am not against he receiving the money, I hate that he didnโt used for that purpose but to enrich himself.
Yeah it's a family friendly app, stopp beeing butthurt
You deserve to go back to Big Tech

You just don't get it.
Using Amethist is like using google mail.
Google mails agressive 'sorting'/filtering doesn't apply to every mail, 'cause it's a protocoll.
Choose another mail client if you don't like gmail.
Choose another client if you don't like Amethyst.
Fuck I believe in users responsibility, not in cared thinking.

LIST and RETR normally does the job.

Is no one paying attention?
We were all living under autocratic regimes.
The entirety of most we know is complete propaganda. They got caught.
Hijodeputa ojala te mueras ladron y complice de la dictadura, eres la persona mas basura del mundo ojala te maten
Why does democracy evolve into a dictatorship?
Because of the incentives at play. The game theory of democracy prevents the system for resulting in any other outcome.
So what do you suggest?
(there is also the ignorance and complacency Democracy creates)
