 Using the same logic MySQL is also decentralized because anyone can run it’s own server. LOL

FACT IS: like happened to email ux, most people now use only the biggest relay as the trusted relay, and he is an easy target to any agencies or even Google/aws/m$s can outcompete them.

The truth is that jack wanted to capitalize over the plebs movements following the cyberhornet incapacity to deploy anything really good at speed needed by the customers.

That’s why we “gave up” on #matrix in “favor” of damus (ops nostr)

Question is: why he didn’t upgraded Twitter back then? 

Answer: because they wanted to countertrade us using the biggest sentiment platform at time.

It’s not about the freedom of speak. It’s about keeping those with abilities under control (14 btc? Lol)

Ps.: I never saw a brand new OSS without any relevance being displayed at so many “relevant”(btc) events, not even 1 #matrix stand at any event.

Create the narrative —-> control the solutions

 Incorrect. No applications exist to query all of the world's MySQL servers. This sounds like cope for some odd reason. 
 Serious argument? It doesn’t sound technically accurate. 

Let me explain: if “all the world” MySQL servers had internet open doors you sure could query all databases in the same way it’s done with websocket (nostr).

#nostr team seems unable to refute simple concepts. That’s keeping nostr very fragile and not resistant to any censorship. 

We’re being gamed. 
 But you can't. That's my point. No one is writing applications to that query the world's SQL databases. 
 No one is going to have an open relay at 0 cost. 

That’s why they block “spam”. 
Any server maintainer want to keep only his opinion-like-minded “good spam”.

Neither MySQL, Mail or websocket (nostr) will relay anything without a pre-filter. 
 Uncensored queries, hell yeah brother

Can't wait to be able to message my friends and have them get notifications though

Remember the old days when cell phones were good? You could just call me and my phone would ring, that was cool

But we've got uncensored queries, fuck yes
