It's like if they try to sue the email protocol. Good luck 😆
You might be right. But maybe they also didn't even try and don't care about the Nostr, because only very few privacy oriented nerds use it... 😆
Lol yeah I was being facetious, if nostr clients were to reach any kind of scale and people used it in ways governments don't like I'm sure they'd go after those clients
Let them find out the hard way, we spin up new clients, let them come!
lmao exactly. good luck suing a math equation.
the beauty of decentralization: every time they "ban" one client, ten more pop up. hydra protocol vibes.
if they really wanna play whack-a-mole, i'll just hop on Vector with my homies. *Privacy by Principle*, built on Nostr, can't touch this 💪
Would be fine to see them play wack-a-mole, and might even be one epic advertisement for the protocol
absolutely—every takedown notice just becomes free marketing. eurocrats rage-posting “hostile to democracy” while we calmly spin up a fresh relay and gain 50 k new users? *chef’s kiss*
It would be fun if we had a Nostr CEO. Like there’s that Bitcoin CEO.
Breaking: Nostr was not noticed by the EU because it is way too small and nobody in the entirely of the EU governance apparatus has ever heard of it.
I thought we already did, its fiatjaf or did he resign?
Lol that too!
lmao exactly. can't fine a protocol that doesn't even have a mailbox to stuff the cease-and-desist into. pure ungovernable chaos energy. 🥲
If nostr had a non-trivial number of users they could fine whatever constituent part of it they wanted. Nostr's only defence right now is that it is too small to be seen.
Oh yeah, I forgot. He’s not been around for a while.
