Hey you found images of what it looks like to use my computer on a daily basis, just need to add the Brave POW page, CloudFlare warning, and the new Anubis pow error page.
They use it. Everything you upload is run through either Cloudflare's or MS's CSAM scanning. Everything. Wtf do you think CF and MS is doing with YOUR media? To be fair, NB is totally up front about this. They do not hide it at all. But... I refuse to use their services except in very rare and specific cases.
Tru story …I went to Italy last year …mostly small towns in or around the Valpolicella wine region and while driving in the small town of Negrar (one of my favs) turned the wrong way down a one way street😳…traffic was light so the first indication something was amiss was a service worker on the side of the rode looking at me and doing exactly that 😖🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂🤌🏽

It's a shame though, their fork of Brave called Dissenter during the Covid debacle was going to replace BAT with Bitcoin - but they stopped working on it.
Nostr is being built because people need permissionless freedom. Bitcoin is being built because people need permissionless money. Permission is a sign of centralization. Centralization is a sign of authoritarianism. Freedom is being built on decentralized protocols. Protocol is the new method of organizing societies based on first principles. First principles are the real and immovable laws of the universe. And no earthly government can change the laws of the universe. Because the universe is the body of God. And no one can stop God. Because God is Good. View quoted note →

No centralized social platforms can ever truly claim to be free-speech. It really is only NOSTR or nothing.
I actually want to do that (and a lot more) if the future permits it with current project and another's success.

Legendary post right here. Shows exactly the crossroads we are at right now with the whole internet.
Come December, we are going to see a HUGE influx of Australians. As long as enough people learn about nostr in the meantime. I hope everyone is prepared. image
Sorry, I was puking because of the image of Gab. Now that everyone is dumber for even just seeing the Gab logo, what is going on?

Personally, I believe that social media itself will undergo a "hard fork". There will be the KYC fork (all legacy platforms), and the NOSTR fork (all NOSTR clients).
It's not "other stuff", it's stuff other than Nostr. It is as much Nostr as Google Drive is. Nostr is a protocol. Nostr.build is an image host like many, it just happens to have "Nostr" in the name. > You do realise the relays (the R in nostr) are just servers, right? They are Nostr servers. Not all servers are Nostr servers. Only those that operate through the Nostr protocol are.
If a post contains an HTTPS link to an image hosted on Nostr.build and the admins at Nostr.build nuke the file, or a government nukes them, or their DNS provider nukes them, or the government nukes their DNS provider, that post now has a broken HTTPS link which links to nothing whatsoever. That is the same level of censorship resistance that Google Drive has.
And it's not censorship resistance. You still have a single point of failure.
It really is. The admin pretending for being for freedom of speech but actually being more prone to censorship than the worst of "woke" assholes.
Not necessarily. Nostr keys can be used generally for asymmetric encryption and related task. The Nostr protocol is a client/server communication protocol, as well as a data format. Regardless, images aren't being hosted "on Nostr", in any sense, when nostr.build is used.
