Recently I heard @nprofile…0fd0 celebrate Elon's X takeover, saying "he's absolutely crushing it".
In reality, Elon is helping governments crush the voice of dissent and opposition.
The X block of Istanbul's mayor is coming after his imprisonment by Turkish gov last month.

May God Have Mercy on the Nocoiners
In halls of power, a silent race begins,
Where institutions chase the digital sin.
Central banks, with ink and press,
Debase their currencies, in duress,
To buy the coin that's pure, the golden bit,
Bitcoin, the savior, the end of debt's pit.
The U.S., with cunning, plays a dual game,
Stacking sats for glory, spreading dollar's fame.
Stablecoins in green, a facade so sleek,
Promising a haven, but only for the weak.
While citizens stack, the nation too,
Hoping to dollarize, the old game in view.
But as the presses run, the currencies fall,
The debts they once held, now small,
Evaporate like whispers in the wind,
Leaving those without bitcoin, financially thinned.
The nocoiners, once proud, now face the night,
As their wealth and savings vanish from sight.
A great economic wipe-out, a cleansing tide,
The end of an era, the fourth turning's ride.
A new cycle dawns, with nations debt-free,
On a Bitcoin standard, where all can see,
The holders of Bitcoin, spared from the plight,
In this new world order, they bask in the light.
May God have mercy on the nocoiners' plight,
For they missed the boat, in Bitcoin's flight.
As the world resets, with a ledger so clear,
Only Bitcoin holders thrive, the rest live in fear.

I think we mainly agree. Nostr CEOs are lower value targets compared to platform CEOs. But govs could still come after them for ✨️ reasons.
It's silly to expect a protocol to fix arbitrary arrests.

2024-08-27 23:25:01

- reply

He's correct, nostr doesn't fix CEOs getting arrested. But his point is also moot because targeting CEOs of nostr apps, even of big ones, will never have the disruptive return for governments that the arrest of a centralized platform's CEO has, mostly because switching costs are close to zero for nostr users, while there is no switching option for telegram users.

The information we have about both historic cases is second-hand. On top of that, history is written by the victors and there is a good amount of nuance lost over time, as your example of Father Coughlin demonstrates: barely anyone knows today that there was factions in the US supporting Germany, and that's mostly because it didn't fit the narrative that the US wanted to establish in the history books.
Secondly, we cannot epistemologically know if deplatforming Coughlin or the Hutu radio saved lives. It's even possible that shutting down the Hutu radio could have inadvertently silenced moderate Hutu voices that might have offered alternative perspectives or advocated for peace that could have changed the dynamics of the genocide.
My point is it is impossible to attribute positive consequences to the restriction of speech, but the negative consequences of restriction of speech are always self-evident.

> que piensas estamos haciendo acá?
Most people are excited about nostr because it makes it hard to deplatform dissenting voices by virtue of its architecture and I am no different. Hearing you sympathize with deplatforming in the context of a presentation about Nostr put me off, that's why I had to ask directly.
Mind you, I'm not questioning property rights. We're in agreement that you should have every right to kick me out of your living room or your relay for any or no reason, only listen to and associate with the people that you like.
My question to you was about deplatforming as in restricting a person’s ability to communicate publicy - specifically in the context of Nostr.
Glad to hear that you do want Nostr to be a protocol that enables even speech you don't like. Thanks for clarifying.

2024-08-27 12:59:08

I am with you on your position that violence and genocide is bad and I wouldn't give them a platform either, but historical cases aside, do you believe we should have protocols that allow for censorship-resistant and deplatforming-resistant public communications?

2024-08-27 11:26:05

I had hoped / expected there'd be some minimal consensus about what we're here for, like "systems that allow for deplatforming = bad - let's build systems that make censorship hard"

Bitcoin is fine, nothing changed, but it seems I attributed a lot more intelligence to the leaders in this space than they deserve. "Leaders?" you may ask. Yes, there are no leaders in bitcoin, but there are in the Bitcoin Space, and I gave them way more credit than they deserve. Don't get fooled by fancy marketing friends. Keep your bullshit detectors fine-tuned and don't delude yourself with wishful thinking.

You're right, but you either misread or are conflating custodial with closed source. There are custodial ln wallets with LN address and zaps integrated that are open source.

It's not only zaps that favor custodial wallets, It's also LN Address that's not solved for non-custodial mobile ln.

Are folks not aware what's what or have we stopped caring?
