Indians are living less thanks to air pollution. I hope the political parties with a vote base in these dark regions will be moved to keep their votes alive.

Look at how small the road is that the pedestrians need to cross. Cars really shouldn’t get more than one lane. https://nostrcheck.me/media/22d0f9babb69a3042f3b830c037ac4d81bfbb3b96ad490bc912c8fdc35fe7d6f/407db237cdf27b663037d78f29328e911e2547f80330ce0adc4ddd65dd78bc18.webp

I was listening to Parth MN’s feature story https://restofworld.org/2024/whatsapp-intimidation-forced-conversion-targets-christians-india/ and was reminded that WhatsApp came to India in 2010. Really? Is that recent? What were we doing before 2010?!

I think you aren’t giving enough credit “out of network” warnings in your app. I do not think I would like to converse with people who are beyond friends of friends. The real life analogy is that it is the set of people you might find yourself with at a dinner party.
“Out of network” are sufficient.

What do you mean that the govt relay will act as s proxy? Please explain

2024-07-19 10:55:10

- reply

Each relay is allowed to censor / moderate by its own rules but the discovery of new relays is not dependent on your existing relay list. So a govt might block access to relays, new ones can pop up and users can publish to them to get around censorship.
I don’t think relays currently exchange posts with each other. A relay proxy (relay relay?) would make the nostr network more resilient

There are so many internet shutdowns in India because india allows local district authorities to decide if they want to shutdown it. Like a local curfew on physical movement. Afaik it does not need approval from even the provincial govt

I believe India does so too almost as a matter of policy. But then India shuts down the internet at the drop of a hat. It doesn’t even make the news now. This report from 2021 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/29/india-exam-cheating-internet-shutdown/

I remember one of the earliest delights on BlueSky was that it - the app - looked and behaved so much like OG Twitter. Quoting worked perfectly too. Remember that it was at a time when Mastodon folks are shooed away a lot of Twitter migrants saying that their old habits were not welcome on Mastodon.
The app was, and is, a delight to use. We don’t give enough credit for UX for driving growth.
