HK’s latest buzz topic to get itself outta the shit heap it threw itself into is to become a ‘tech hub’. Firstly, HK has announced it will be about 20 different kind of hubs in last 20+years. None exist, except as a hub for repression and authoritarianism.
Secondly, HK authorities ARE interested in tech and do want to promote it, but not the kinda tech Nostr is built on. China wants to export tech it can control and kill tech that can’t be controlled. At the height of the protest movement, HKongers were the most digitally connected network on the net, and they pioneered many original tactics, like coordinating protests via airdrop. Conversely the HK police are very active in prosecuting people for their online views and actions and constantly send police actions to social media platforms. I’m sure HKongers will migrate to Nostr as they learn about it and realise they can’t be censored here - but it doesn’t need a conference infested with CCP spies to do this.
