Man, they’re really not gonna like NIP-17 (And we really fucked up the number on that one didn’t we lol??)

Fourth amendment

The government (all of them actually) never misses a chance to grab power and diminish individual freedom, usually disguised as protecting one group or another it doesn’t, in actuality, give a flying fuck about. Logical responses? Resist. Subvert. Destroy. Rebuild.

WTF. How is that the issue? Doesn't make any sense.

End times. It's exactly how some of us envisioned this. That's why we scream to you Bitcoin maxis about Monero. We fucking care about you guys.

We already know this, but to read this specified so starkly from time to time, it's 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Read somewhere: Meta allows Pedophiles to access minors for a minimum of 17 times of "report for sexual advances" before they do ANYTHING about it. 17 attempts per Pedo, thanks Meta!!

The big problem with all of this is that: 1: it fundamentally solves nothing 2: therefor risks to only introduce more harm. Basically all of this is ''Meta is a bad actor''. ok fine, i believe it, but why is Meta being a bad actor in the first place? Its because they captured network effect resulting in a practical dependence. Technically nobody is dependent on Meta for anything, but practically they are if you want to actually get into contact with the wider world and not some marginal fringe. The result is that its hard to walk away from this bad actor. I would actually argue that its because Meta is in this position to be the main reason that they are bad actor...given that from the get-go the whole investment thesis behind Meta/facebook was to get into this position, in order to leverage it for monetization purposes (something subsequently we at the other side of this process ended up call ''shitification''), basically means it was rotten from the start. Ok...bad meta...now what? Keep nagging, complaining and demanding them to do better? If only half the energy that was spend on nagging, complaining and demanding instead went to changing the paradigm as we are doing with Nostr, Meta would have been irrelevant by now anyway. or they would have cleaned up their act in order to stay relevant. All of this is ultimately fighting the wrong battle. I don't disagree with going after Meta per se, but given its done in this context of despair (there are not real alternatives) and feeling of powerlessness, the results are bound to be vindictive. I.e. the grandstanding over Meta will just throw out all sorts of babies out with the bathwater.
