 It is definitely a relative freedom of speech platform. Nostr is more free, but WHAT does that matter when the REACH is about ZERO. 
Without X and Rumble, we are definitely fucked. Nostr means nothing in this perspective. It’s a circle jerk. 
 Completely disagree. 

That's like saying Bitcoin is a circle jerk in 2012 or 2013. Now look at it. 

Nostr will continue to onboard people who are banned from centralized platforms.

And if we need it, Nostr will allow us to communicate when all other options are forbidden. 
 The problems in the world are much too severe to wait for Nostr to evolve for 12 more years. And as you can see, I am here on Nostr too, by the way, because I see that is has POTENTIAL for greatness in it. But right now it is completely insignificant. 
 Dude you've been here 10 months but aren't verified?? 🤣😂 okay BOT 
 What? How do you get ”verified”? And why should I want to? Because of people like you? No Thanks. 
 Verify organic matter 
 It's kind of the whole point. Your npub is not the way to find people ideally. It's like an IPV6 address or something. 
Imagine a world where you can have 1 or many aliases pointed to one or many npubs. Then you could have a work application tied into Nostr. Nostr is not an app, it's more like a protocol.  
 Look up NIP-05 or go to a place that offers it.  
 Oh now I get it. It is the WHOLE POINT. How STUPID I must be! And it’s a PROTOCOL, NOT an APP! 
Thanks a lot for that dr Feynman.

 And WHAT is that supposed to show? That I’m even more stupid than you thought? (And I suppose You’re ”bullish” on NOSTR🤡) 
 We're early. You can't just put something in there, you will need to 
A) sign up for a service like nostrplebs that supports NIP-05
B) have your own domain and implement it yourself. 
I think Nostr long term has alot of promise but it clearly is not intuitive yet from an application standpoint. 
Sorry if you weren't being sarcastic, it seemed that you were. 
To get technical, the domain needs a location like this that points to the npubs. It's how the search finds the npub. https://sovereigncraft.com/.well-known/nostr.json
