Kind reminder: open-source developers on Nostr are assuming a huge amount of risk.
Yes, Nostr is a Hydra, and when totalitarians cut off one head two more will grow in its place… But each developer IS a head, and by simply writing code they put themselves in a dangerous position. By writing code that enables freedom technology, they make themselves a target.
They know this, and they do it anyway.
It should not be this way, I know. Code is speech. But it is the reality of the world we live in today.
Thankfully, open-source developers are creating tools that will make the world of tomorrow a better, freer one. The kind of world you want your children to inherit.
So, whatever Nostr client you’re reading this on, go zap the developer. Give them some of your monetary energy.
They fucking deserve it.
Nostr is a Hydra.
