I feel like this is what Snowden was trying to say about bitcoin also. Do not put a candle under bush, but place it in the center of the room so the light can reach the darkest corners. Nostr is a light in a dark world so display its uniqueness proudly, rather then be ashamed and hide it behind clever UI. Sure we need to build a bridge to the new world, but always be building the direction towards progress.

These phrases never made sense to me when @jack said them. Does it make sense to run away from a thing and then run back to it? Maybe running towards Twitter makes more sense in the beginning, as you try to be exactly like Twitter, then you run away -- well, nevermind, I think I should leave these philosophical discussions to Farcaster: https://t.me/farcasterdevchat/8651

No that doesn’t make sense. What I was referencing was that people were building things to run away from the problems of Twitter, which only gets you so far. Running towards something new like the micro app ecosystem is far stronger. But both are obviously needed.

The Twitter use case is necessary but not sufficient. Both are needed, but most people won’t jump through hoops to run away until the perceived danger materializes personally (themselves being censored) or by becoming aware of the things that are so hard to become aware of (algorithmic manipulation) My point was that defining nostr via-negativa (a protocol that doesn’t censor/manipulate you) is a losing proposition. There are very important characteristics where nostr shines that are much more compelling than the absence of obstacles.

Decentralization is the Key difference, same as with PoS and PoW. Understanding this is the fundamental first step to understanding the power of the Many versus the power of the Elite. Twitter is a centralized platform, meaning that it is owned and operated by a single company. This gives Twitter a great deal of control over the platform, including the ability to censor content, ban users, and change the rules at will. Nostr, on the other hand, is a decentralized platform. This means that it is not owned or operated by any single entity. Instead, it is maintained by a network of independent relays. This makes Nostr much more resistant to censorship and interference. Twitter's centralized architecture makes it more vulnerable to censorship. Twitter has a history of censoring content that is critical of the company or its advertisers. Twitter has also been criticized for its shadowbanning practices, which involve reducing the visibility of certain users' tweets without notifying them. Nostr's decentralized architecture makes it much more resistant to censorship. Each relay operator is responsible for deciding what content to allow on their relay. This means that it is very difficult for any single entity to censor content on Nostr. Twitter is a for-profit company that is beholden to its shareholders. This means that Twitter is ultimately motivated by profit, not by the needs of its users. This can lead to decisions that are not in the best interests of free speech or privacy. Nostr is a non-profit project that is not beholden to any shareholders. This means that Nostr is free to make decisions that are in the best interests of its users, even if those decisions are not profitable. Twitter is a publicly traded company, meaning that its shares are owned by investors. This means that Twitter is ultimately controlled by a small group of wealthy individuals. Nostr is a decentralized open source project. This means that it is owned and controlled by its users. Anyone can contribute to the Nostr codebase and anyone can run a Nostr relay. Twitter and Nostr are two very different social media platforms with different strengths and weaknesses. Twitter is more efficient and scalable, but it is also more vulnerable to censorship and interference. Nostr is more resistant to censorship and interference, but it is also less efficient and scalable. If you are looking for a social media platform that is committed to freedom of speech, independence, and ownership by the people, then Nostr is the better choice. However, if you are looking for a social media platform for monetization that is efficient, scalable, and has a large user base, then Twitter is the better choice. I believe that Nostr is the better social media platform for the future. It is more resistant to censorship and interference, and it is owned and controlled by its users. This makes it a more democratic and egalitarian platform. Twitter is a good platform for some things, but it is ultimately beholden to its shareholders and its advertisers. This means, at it's core it is not in the best interests of its Users, but instead - it's Owners.

Pour ce qui est de la dernière objectivement je ne peux me permettre de dire que nostr est meilleure au niveau substances pour les utilisateurs par ailleurs un lieu de toute sorte de créations et d'ingéniosité disparate pour les techniciens...qui est bien soit même l'actualité à travers le Monde est peu de visibilité ...un plus que seul Twitter ou certaines chaînes de télévision non partisanes

Faites un check-up des interactions Pablo et vous verrez bien , le manque d'obstacles est hélas dommage puisque réellement ça craint lorsque certains notriches se retrouvent à ce qu'on les de *malades* alors qu'ils interagissent sur leur expérience et bilan sur leur utilisation / nostr il y a de quoi se demander pourquoi au nom de quoi

L'idée des micro applications puis tout ce qui est du P2P est trop précoce et souvent trop onéreux pour la plupart des simples individus dans un contexte où des mastadontes peuvent de manière spontanée offrir des services gratuites 2 ou 3 fois par semaine rien que dans les systèmes de transferts d'argent, les usagers jouent désormais avec ces moments de gratuité, peut-être entre pros pour commencer...pour le P2P

twitter and numerous other silos used to allow people to build apps that did things with the data. that's going to stay open with nostr, at least to the extent that users don't aggregate into silo-like relay-CDNs. and the other things about it are for example the social layer of a decentralised software repository, or for that matter, game distribution system, or any of the other places we already now have a social layer tacked on, this can be the engine behind it.

Utilisateur de Twitter tout comme d'autres sommités dont je n'aurais jamais pensé interagir de ma vie, je peux dire que nous n'avons jamais été suspendus pourtant nous défendons et argumentons sur tant de sujets qui permettent d'avoir une autre vision de nos sociétés ..Je n'ai jamais eu à subir des agressions qu'avec certains qui veulent que je communique en anglais juste pour m'embêter..ceux là même en rien dans le développement de thématiques dont nous développions utiles à nos sociétés

I was thinking it meant - running away from Twitter (because we want to be different?) - running towards Twitter (because we want to kill it?) but it makes sense to be - running away from Twitter problems - running towards making something else entirely different
