They can take your TikTok account. They can take your Twitter account. They can take your YouTube account. They can take your Facebook account. They can take your Instagram account. They can't take your nostr account.

true, but only in that client and only clients that don't let you choose tge relays you are using., you can always use a censor free client and avoid the bad apple clients that censors and create awareness for people to know the clients that censors

First they came for facebook and you did nothing, because you did not have facebook. Then they came for telegram and you did nothing, because you did not have telegram. Then they came for twitter and you did nothing BECAUSE WE ARE ON NOSTR BITCHES!!!
genuine question - aren't we being asked for our nsec more and more often? am starting to think my nsec should be air gapped just like a btc private key? should only provide a 'derived key' that can't reveal my nsec?
Facts. Nostr puts the user in control of their socials for the very first time.

do not use any of the above 😉
itd be cool if #Amber had a version you could install on a phone, keep it offline, then use qr card scanning to authorize signing on another online amber using on your online phone with a nostr client ( perhaps you gotta re-up it every few weeks or something). the offline phone would effectively act as your hardware signer. Maybe this functionality already exists in Amber, @greenart7c3 ? hopefully that made sense.
Not easy at all. Clients saving posts, user npubs and relays locally, and people using their own private relays would basically mean it's impossible to censor. I think Umbrel already comes with a simple Nostr relay.
You should add Bluesky to this list too right? Especially with how its a Nostr Imposter (haha i’m a poet and didn’t even…..know that i was one….🤣) in a few different ways.
At a glance, the left image is a starfield with blue diagonal lines representing faster-than-light travel, and the right one is an onion bagel with those FTL lines wrapping around it
Using this for a Bluesky post to bring people here! Amazing 👏 I don’t have twitter haha otherwise it would’ve made more sense there. But I just know theres toms of people flocking to Bluesky from Tik Tok right now
Regular nsecs is good, quantum resistant nsecs would be great. For now we can all be happy having regular nsecs.

i like this quality very much
100% …but with great power comes great responsibility. - No one can stop scammers/spammers from creating 1000000 accounts and flooding the network. - You cant stop targeted hate attacks on your account. - it’s hard to make it safe for kids. - how do you prevent centralisation (and censorship) as costs of running relays increase. As Nostr scales up these issues will become bigger. We need to actively build the future we want and not just passively wait for the power to be abused. 💪

a lot of me wishes harris had won, because this would have happened a lot sooner and harder we're going to the same place regardless (the things they can't take ie bitcoin and nostr) but it would have been a quicker journey i feel

They can and they will. If you do not behave.
Fight the Republicans censoring social media regardless. Trump is your enemy. Project 2025 is your enemy.
don't have TikTok Twitter is gone bro YouTube is glowie fed shit Facebook banned me 6 years ago don't have Instagram either they can definitely take my nostr account, everyone is just waiting for compromised keys to become a huge issue before creating any widely adopted key rotation system to solve it

I started to have some issues with Instagram account after posting a selfie in a COVID-mask and CCTV cameras behind while in China. Big tech social media suck #NostrOnly #nostr

They can take your Google account. They can take your Microsoft account. They can take your Amazon account. They can take your Spotify account. They can take your GitHub account.
All I know is that bluesky is gay and can only mimic twitter. Nostr can do anything. Things like primal, olas, zap.stream, highlighter etc
as one of the first twitter users (x.com/em) I can confirm, they log you out and don't let you back in if you don't please them
