Oddbean new post about login | logout Banning X only affects influencers. That's why I think it's really cool. Regular people don't use X. They don't lose anything. WhatsApp on the other hand... 😱 Yes, he just needs an excuse to ban WhatsApp as well.
VPNs and Starlink suffering collateral damage is not good. Right now Brazil is flaring a huge red flag to the rest of the world.
Noone is banning WhatsApp nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug! That's the whole point! WhatsApp is their main data mining tool! They are evil, not stupid!
Vitor o WhatsApp ja foi banido em 2019 foi ai que limitaram os grupos colocaram restrições de compartilhamento etc.
Nesse época, muita gente conheceu o Telegram.
Devs literally have no idea that twitter exists outside of bitcointwitter. Bizarre take. nostr:nevent1qqsrc4n2f5afh34dpqwnjhnrp9jwz5884g2rg09ts27jwwv24g6luvqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9upzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqvzqqqqqqyd2efz9
They can't ban WharsApp in any Latam country because they run everything over WhatsApp.
Real, even government officials use whatsapp here, it would be quite the chaos if they banned it
We need a decentralized whatsapp-like service. Instead of your phone number you’d have a private key.
Try nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0vwuavy :)
We have it Look at 0xChat
Use OXCHAT
"regular people don't use X" ... you lost me right there, buddy.
But they don't. None of my friends are on Twitter in Brazil. They never even went to the website. They just don't have any reason to.
sorry man, im from brazil and there's not a single friend besides me that dont use twitter. Literal every friend sub 30y uses it.
Banning Whatsapp would not be a bad thing. It's owned by fiat social media criminals Meta. If banning it onboards more people to #Amethyst / #Nostr then it's inconvenient for some but an overall win. IMO... Internet security, privacy and all that jazz is as important as BTC for freedom. The people scraping and selling our data are Appl$, M$, Googl$, Met$ and the rest... Even the bank$. Fiat tech giants are evil.
Do we have any alternative to WhatsApp that is based on Nostr 🟣 or something similar that they cannot censor?

"Regular people don't use X. They don't lose anything." I've been on TwitterX since 2007. Reckon it has been great for catching up on breaking stories in real-time, as well as being invaluable for journalists and activists. But in its present form and mission to be The Sole Source Of Truth on the web, it won't be long before it is taken down by those who wish us to continue to be blissfully ignorant and clueless. This is mainly why I'm on Nostr now. My expectations for Nostr are high. Vitor, is it possible for a Nostr client like #Amethyst to offer the same functionality/feature set as TwiiterX Premium? I mean the enhanced formatting options, ability to edit posts/notes, etc. If so, that could be a compelling reason for folks to ditch the bird site and move over to Nostr. Mull it over , please? 🤔 😉
Censorship is never "really cool".
It's a lesson to not be idiots.
Agreed, still not cool.

That's obvious. Put a sentece of a known guy on it doesn't make it reason for celebration. When it hits you in the face, post it again then.
You think it's really cool? Huh. Nostr and Amethyst are superior, but to claim people do not use X when Nostr is not even a blip in the pie... Ignorant.
