Orwell is becoming a prophet.
View quoted note →Freedom of speech means freedom to offend, to speak your mind, to say something stupid, to state something that's wrong. It means freedom to joke, freedom to make fun of an enemy, freedom to insult a friend. Freedom to tell those who are in power that they can go fuck themselves.
if you are not on the DIGOS list 😅
I've heard criticism about NOSTR that the IP address is public? I'm not a technical guy, is this (still) relevant?
It is, but at least you have the option of going Tor only.
Using only Tor isn't fun. Have you ever tried it for an extended period of time with your main account? ;)
The fall of the UK has been wild to watch.

FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!! free doom 🤣💯✨️
Dam, I need to change my profile then 🤣
Just kidding I like to put my real name against my posts. But good point
@Gigi on Nostr pseudonimity Bering true safeguard of free speech.
Although I have to say, for me true free speech should mean you do not have to hide your name.
They are ridiculous 🙄 😒 😑 this is crazy ... the sentencing became a disgrace all over the world. These days you get more for expressing yourself and fiat crimes than actually pedophiles l, rapists, murderers get.
.. How?! HOW?!? DISGRACE!!!!
True, still freedom are two elements really.
1. Ability to make your own decisions - this everybody here understands.
2. Wisdom to use that freedom in best possible way - Stephen Covey or Ray Dalio etc. - it means no regulation but outcomes are reward or vice versa thus self regulation.
I noticed that in freedom communities often people forget about the second one. Which is more acknowledged in business environment.
I guess that the case as we want to ensure more freedom laws etc. Still second point is even more important as it builds stronger societies that can protect freedom instead of falling into chaos.
Fuck yeah!

Twitterjail has real jailbars now ☠️
fascist
Any idea what he posted?
Absolutely, true pseudonymity only exists on Nostr. Every centralized platform has a weakness, but here you can be free, uncompromised, and genuinely anonymous.

Exactly. Freedom of speech isn’t supposed to be comfortable, it’s supposed to be real. If people can’t speak their mind, make mistakes, joke, offend, or challenge power, then it’s not freedom at all. True freedom includes the parts that make others uncomfortable.
On amethyst its fine. Images are a little slow to load but that's about it
I have, extensively.
Yes, but pseudonymity only allows you to say “illegal things” without getting caught. The goal is to make it illegal to punish people for speech and for that you need enough people to say things under their real names.
I have no problem with people saying things without getting caught, but IMO the ethos that ends this is enough people with their real names attached telling them to fuck off.
Why is he dressed like a clown?
Kinda depends where someone lives and if it's worth the risk to their loved ones.
On nostr you have the freedom to call people retards, couldn't do that on Facebook,
Very little political discourse or discussion on here though, say something people disagree with and they don't respond.
Don't see any journalists, flash is the only account that even shares news that isn't run by a bot.
But I expected there to be a lot of anarchists on here people sharing news, journalists sharing footage directly under pseudoanonymous accounts from places it's not safe.
Expected there to be preppers posting anonymous photos of their weapons in their bunkers saying shit like "I'll kill any federal agent that tries to take them"
I know it's still early as people say, maybe I need more patience, maybe I need to look harder, nostr is mostly just Bitcoin nerds, people living alternative lifestyles.
Altogether, at least in my experience so far, it has been a very educational space, learning about bitcoin, learning about ai, learning about nostr itself, other protocols and programs, have so much catching up to do.
I've already gotten so much out of the platform, I believe it will grow with all these social media laws being created against western citizens.
everyone is persuaded it's not worth the risk, and freedom of speech dies
I don't mean for us, at least not yet.
6 months in a UK prison is nothing.
But for people who's actual lives/families lives in danger for their speech or journalism, they're the ones who are actually taking a risk when they use their real identity.
Personally I just don't want my family knowing it's me if they ever find out about nostr
NO U!
Yeah, there are cases where it’s necessary obviously. But IMO too many people only speaking up pseudonymously when it’s not yet necessary abdicates the fight and makes it more likely that it becomes necessary.
It’s game theory. Speak up now under your real name, take a small risk, but if everyone does it, you win. Keep quiet under your real name now (no risk), but if everyone does that, the censor wins.
There is a poem that comes to mind.
I can’t listen to this guy speak.
His slouch. 👿
100%
FUCK YOU CENTRAL GAY RETARDED BANKS
Damn, what happened to England? Shocking stuff fr

what a clown show.
and this is a motherfucking COURT putting people into prison. what a shithole the UK is oh my god
You can’t avoid the social consequences of being a dick even if your country doesn’t nail you your community might ruin your life.
We’re in agreement that pseudonymity is important, but why do you want to insult your friends? 🤔
Because sometimes my friends well do retarded things, and I want to be able to tell them without going to jail for wrongthink (or "hatespeech", as it's called today).
Sometimes you want your friends to go to jail and beheaded too but apparently thats crossing the line 😳
I was just about to write the same.
It will get worse and worse every day... Until WE end it. Politicians will never take any decision back.
Time to end their game us now.
There is only "Do or die!" left.
