Well some servers like cis.dfm.de would offerer filtered access while other severs like #Altopia would offer completely uncensored access. Some would offer something in between, like #Giganews.
The choices were well documented so users made an informed choice.
People could also pay more for servers with long retention and and more securely encrypted access to the sever.
It evolved over a long time though; more than 10 years. Whether we can do it faster? Here's hoping.

I don't think it's their core ideology that's the problem. I think it's the assholes in charge. That's the problem! Otherwise what was the ideology driving #Pinochet other than #cruelty?

Yeah #nostrudel was one of the best clients I found. I like how it has idiosyncratic features; it doesn't just copy what everyone else does. I found #shipyard interesting too, but it wasn't entirely reliable. So that's one to watch rather than use for now, I'd say.

I think I've settled with my #nostr clients - finally.
The mobile client was easy. There's nothing even close to #Amethyst in features or reliability.
Desktop was trickier. I've more or less settled on #Coracle. It doesn't have the most features but it is one of the fastest and maybe the most reliable.
Having said that, I still mean to try #Gossip.
What are others using, can I #asknostr?

#bittylicious are fascinating. They were decentralised before #DeFi existed.
You registered your bank account and they paired up buyers with sellers, acting as an escrow.
What I never even thought about at the time was this. Where did those early sellers get their coins?
I can only assume they were DIY miners, but I don't really know.
Last I heard they were still going but moved to the Isle of Mann to avoid regulation.

I bought my very first bit of #btc in 2015 from #bittylicious but it was a very small amount.

What's changed is people take it more personally now. Most of my #opinions won't be liked by half the #people.. That's always been the same, but in days of yore most of that half would find that normal and think I'm an idiot for disagreeing with them. Now, a much higher percentage of that half will get upset because I'm not thinking the same way as i do. That's what's changed.

It's a shame we never notice these issues until it affects people we care about. Many people thought just stop oil was a nuisance and never said anything, and thereby set this precedent.
If we really want free speech we have to speak up the first time it's restricted; and not first time it offends our sensibilities.
We also failed to say anything when pro Palestinian protesters were evicted from US campuses. We can do that. We have to speak up for everyone equally.

I've noticed that #Iris being touted as the best beginner's #nostr client, but having tried afew things with it, I'm not going to recommend it myself.
I've used Iris quite a bit and it is a very nice client in terms of layout, but findamentally it seems to work too differently to other clients.
When I changed my wallet address in #Amethyst recently, it carried over to three other clients, Coracle, Primal and Snort, but it didn't change in Irish.
The same thing happened when I changed other profile data like about and website urls. I even removed them to see if that helped, but again it didn't sync with the other clients, which all synced with each other.
I don't know if this is a recent bug, but it has put me off a very promising app.

I don't know that inalieable right translate into a real voice though. For example, once the US colleges started policing their campuses and stopped palestinian supporters from using their space they effectively deprived them of a voice.
If the UK government disconnected the UK from the wider internet and shutdown any cloud services that hosted Twitter, they would not have deprived the UK rioters of any inalienable rights, but they would have crippled their ability to speak nonetheless.

2024-08-10 20:41:57

I'm an interested observors in #freespeech. It's largely an exercise in semantics, but it's fascinating to me.
Almost no one would say it's okay to shout #fire in a #office block or a #church. Few people think it's okay to threaten someone, but after that it's all Overton Windows.
Some people think it's okay foor the far right in the UK to shout racial hatred, but some of those same peole wil baulk when US students shout pro palestine slogans.
It's rally clear to me you can't have absolutely free speech, because hat would make it fine for a large group to scream constantly all day at work.
People often draw adistinction between #government action and every other action, but this is increasingly off the mark as people gain real power through social media.
I think people who have real power must face real consequences, no matter how they accumulated that power.
It's all a question of degree. A lot of Americans think it's okay to own guns, but i suspect they don't feel the same about C4 or Hydrogen fluoride.

But how would you even know if other clients were respecting it.
I discovered purely by accident that some clients let you see who's zapping who, while most clients don't.
In that scenario, how you you write a script for what you can't see. Unless you watched every client out there?

I don''t think there's much in it. I think #mullvad shades it on the desktop because it works seamlessly with Mullvad browser and proxy which makes it hard for sites to tell you're using a #VPN.
I think Mullvad allows more clients but #IVPN still allows 2 and most people need no more.

I think the other problem is. fiat becomes just as good as it needs to in each country. In the UK we're quite demanding so we get Wise and Revolut for international payments.
I think that's the other thing some #crypto advocates miss. they think globally but miss the local issues #BTC needs some sort of killer feature that beats all fiats, not just those in the #USA.
I think #lighting is one and #monero is another. they do things that #fiat can't do. Not just things that FIAT hasn't done yet.
I was quite impressed with #orchidvpn https://www.orchid.com/ but I think it's too abstract for many people to see what they're offering so they've never reached that critical mass to achieve the goal.

I don't know of any risks associated with #bitcoin payments that aren't also present when accepting #cash #payments, so I keep wondering if the lack of inertia is the real issue? What we have works well enough for most people and very few people care about #ideology.
I'm starting to wonder if there will ever be a big take off. I think we might be stuck with the slow climb of generational #change and there's actually nothing wrong with that.

I'm starting to think the problem is a lot more fundamental than govt or even #politics in the organised sense.
I'm gradually coming round to the position that our systems don't scale up to 10s of millions of people, let alone hundreds.
If you look at small countries like Iceland and Norway it seems to work better. Maybe because they have cohesion.
#Religiom used to provide that in larger groups, but as #science marches on people stop believing in bible stories just as children stop believing in red riding hood.
Then you're left with hundreds of interest groups who only seem to align in opposition to other groups. They don't really have cohesion.
The solution is to break large countries up.

We need to notice the coindence most I think. If you like a post and I get some sats I just assume it's you. Otherwise I don't pay much attention so I'd guess the privacy is good enough for most.

I think there's a vague undertone, not so much in the news itself but some of our news people are voicing #opinions.
What you have to remember is it's the other way around here. Our #TV is bound by imprtiality riles but our p#rint media isn't, so fleet street get free reign.
From what I see it's the other way a round over there. Your TV pundits can say what they like but print #media is more bound?
Having said that, there is #anger here - and in the E#U - against social media bosses.
IIn the typical #British way they'll actually ban banks and CC forms from procesing #payments for #Twitter until they pay fines, because that would be cheaper to #police.
