Man, remember when Australia imprisoned Novak Djokovic for not wanting to bend the knee? They literally put the world's healthiest human in a cage for "health reasons". Now it's obvious that he was on the right side of history, but we still haven't seen an apology. That, plus the whole "five eyes" thing doesn't make Australia too appetizing for me.
Just my 2 sats.
I wouldn’t set foot on that island if you paid me.
Where are most folks commenting then?
Argentina. I have been looking for an excuse to go there
Love Uruguay
It sounds like Australia might need Nostr the most then?
To be clear, I don't care where we go. I'll be there no matter what.
I love the aus nostriches, and I am not voluntarily stepping in the gulag
That would be my first choice. Excellent conference facility right by the seashore in the middle of the city. Super safe city.

But what about the name then!? #Nostruguay? 🤪
I always wanted to travel to AUS but yes after the shit they've pulled in the last few years, it's moved waaaay down on my list
Prison island
Yes anywhere south America.
Never been to Uruguay but has been on my list. Count me in!
Depends on how you pronounce the last syllable.
You are prob right that Australia needs Nostr more than most. I just don't feel like going there. 😅
But same as you, I'll go wherever the event ends up.
Uruguay Is near
It's we land in Australia so be it. Heard some shady stories about customs there so personally I'm hesitant on traveling there.
#Nostrina and ##Nostrilia Spind better
Bigger countries must have more people here, in #nostr
Will they dare to enter the Cuban gulag ??? 👀🇨🇺
This is the seaside conference facility viewed from the top floor of the hotel across the street in Montevideo. Awesome sandy beach to the right (out of view)

#Nostrvideo
From Australians 😂
Wow, I didn’t realize until now that they literally imprisoned him.
Quote from Novak’s father: 
I hear France really likes censorship resistant networks.
so beatifull😍
Apparently there’s a Nosterfield in England. Would be a suitable place given the name but also given the free speech shenanigans going on there recently.
Paraguay, anyone?
good times when I wasn't allowed to go into stores... good ol' times
I really like the idea of having it in Australia and inviting @npub1xw7h...umsa and Julian.
i was thinking the same thing
New Zealand also needs nostr

Ojalá! Siempre escucho buenas cosas del país y su gente, los argentinos que he conocido soléis ser buena onda, y ahora creo que es buen momento hacer cosas allí.
es un país bellísimo, con miles de paisajes: cataratas, sierras, cordilleras, galseares, playas, monte...
Sure does #buenostres
Buenos Aires. You can't imagine the purple pilling that will happen + how beautiful and fun is the city.

Throwing in Antigua, Guatemala as an option to consider.

Nicaragua is in the center of the Americas 💜
Well that was years ago and things have changed.
The biggest and best part of having it in Oz is that we have Julian Assange since he lives here and who better than him to attend Nostr in person?
Nostralia!
I live in the USA and I voted for Nostralia. Don’t trust, verify.
Disappointing
I don’t know why you guys are missing the point of having Nostr front and centre of the world by having Julian Assange attend in Australia?
Show me someone much better than him.
👆 I’ll go wherever it is also. Just don’t let them co-opt the nostrich with a kangaroo.
No props for Africa?
What?
Your government scares me just as much as my own does.
I can just stay here and be aggravated.
I'm so keen for anywhere Central or South America since I'll most likely be that way somewhere - hopefully El Salvador or Paraguay. I've just spent the last ten months down under (New Zealand). I leave next month with no plan to return for a decent amount of time. 😅
Bad AUStrich joke
I feel politics should be left to the side and best to do what’s good for Nostr and growing Nostr.
Must be pick on Australia Day.😜
Australia could be either the best or worst choice for the next Nostr unconference.
We have DigitalID rolling out by the end of this year. We also have an mis- & disinformation bill in parliament that will roll out within the next year which seeks to give our Ministry of Truth the ability to remove content from the internet if it could result in “harm”, and “harm” is so broadly defined (pic 1) that it’s going to give them free reign to censor anything and everything.
The MoT run by eKaren (an American woman who is 100% a CIA asset) has been tasked by parliament to develop a roadmap toward social media identity verification and have it implemented by August 2025 (pic 2).
This is now being publicly pushed as FoR dA cHILdReN after eKaren censored videos of a Bishop being stabbed by an immigrant, ordered Xitter to take them down GLOBALLY and then lost a court battle because they didn’t have that authority - they’re shoring up the law so the courts won’t have any choice but to allow them do whatever they want, and they can identify anyone who posts wrongthink.
By the time the next unconference rolls around it’s likely #AUStriches will be fully KYCed for all other social media.
So obviously we need #nostr, and interest here could be massive - possibly the first version of the event to break out beyond our existing sphere.
However, whilst the odds are low, they’re non-zero that the Gov will fuck this up. Denying visas is their most likely course of action (if any) - they’ve done this heaps of times for politically unfavoured individuals.
I don’t think they’ll gulag Nostr CEOs next year, odds of that are very low, but I don’t know they won’t either. More likely go after relay operators.
But this is probably the last chance to do it in Aus. Go out 12 months beyond these laws rolling out and I reckon then it would be too uncomfortable and the Gov would be more ready to come down on this.
I reckon it’s now or never. 
Yikes. It honestly sounds like Australians need Nostr now more than ever.
Yep, and Nostr could take off here because of the crackdowns.
But people need to bear in mind this isn’t the US; we don’t have constitutionally protected free speech, we’re a developed prison colony which LARPs about being laidback and lucky when in reality we’re Canada with nicer weather.
So many great countries out there!
yea, but my kids love the show Bluey. Thats some fine aussie animation right there.
Japan is one of the best.
Wen back in town ?
Reminds me of the @fiatjaf quote:
"WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us. **\[...\]** I make this appeal to WikiLeaks not to try to use NOSTR. NOSTR is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage."
😉
Also we're full.
NAustr 🦘🇦🇺
I'm for Australia but not Julian fwiw, unless he's surrendered his ego
I would vote for Uruguay
You sure ? you sure it wasn’t that it wasn’t going the way yall wanted it to go aka South America ? lol
hella sus & even outside GH the consensus ISNT South America so why bother asking if yall have no intention in listening 
💯
#Nozstr
I like it.
If he even agrees to attend.
#Nostraires 🇦🇷
Land of the commies. Beautiful place, but I’d be careful not to get locked down there if I were you. Had some friends who lost their minds last time
Stella said he would.
My point exactly!
Nostr only for those of us non-techs
Love that!
You are going to make me want to go. Keep it up
What you said 🤙🏽
Remember that issue, yeah. What is the „five eyes“ thing though?
A comunidade no Brasil está crescendo, por razões obvias, seria bom se fosse na Argentina, muitos brasileiros iriam para lá, eu inclusive. Pois no Brasil é capaz do rei Alexandre proibir o evento.
