 ANYONE CAN STORE, DISTRIBUTE, AND VERIFY NOTES IS SIMPLY A BETTER MODEL THAN ONLY ELON CAN STORE, DISTRIBUTE, AND VERIFY POSTS.

EVEN IF NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE NOSTR SCALES BETTER THAN X. 
 Definitely feels like time to say bye to the bird app! 
 This one was hard to read in all caps.

If you're Elon, I think you still prefer to store, distribute and verify posts yourself only. Broken incentives? 
 I like Nostr, but most people here are demonizing Elon, which I find not only funny but hypocritical since most people here apparently worship Jack Dorsey. 
 Yeah, not sure where all the hate for Elon is coming from. I like Nostr better, but as far as centralized social media platforms go, X seems to respect free speech the most. I even bet if you asked Elon about Nostr in private, he would agree Nostr is a good thing. 
 Democracy dies in darkness. Right? Progressives should love Nostr. 
 Unfortunately, Elon is very omnipotent and thinks that he can keep freedom of expression him alone. 

Unlike that if you want to take down #Nostr you have to kill the internet itself, every relay and every user. And yet it can be replayed or forked.  
 We build the future. X is already the past🫡 
 it doesn’t even need names to be right. 
everyone store and distribute > one store and distribute 
nostr distr 
 YES BUT THE VERIFY PART IS IMPORTANT. 

CLIENTS SHOULD NOT BLINDLY TRUST SERVERS. 
 ‘don’t trust, verify’ was never off the charts 📊 
 People imagine Elon’s on the other side of the screen banning them playfully with a little sly wink, they think their $7 monthly contribution is helping to pump his dogecoin bags directly, they think he’s reading their feeds and spending time thinking of ways to algo boost their hottest takes he agrees with 
 Elon ODELL death match. 
 X scales to irrelevance. 💯 
 the elon model is so retarded. 

Only a smoothie would embrace it and continue to support it with their time and attention. 
 THE TYPICAL BLUE CHECK UNDER ELON CANT EVEN BE BOTHERED WITH SIGNATURES, NO WONDER THEY ARE BOMBARDED WITH ENDLESS A LOADS OF NONSENSE 
 Many improvements have been made 
 we need to do the 'tree of relays' to properly scale. currently it won't handle millions 
 Nostr is already better than X and it isn’t tracking me 😎 
 On X you can screenshot a post. On Nostr you can save the actual post. Kinda wild. 
 On nostr you can print it out, put it in a book, and hundreds of years later you'll still be able to verify that's what they said. 
 Depends if quantum computers can break the cryptography. 
 Amazing insight. 
 Ok, this idea got a little out of hand and now I'm going to have to post gibberish Hangul on Twitter just to make a point: https://github.com/ynniv/nips/blob/bare-signatures/XX.md 
 No delete post button is pretty heavy stuff. 
 How do you “save the actual post”? 
 Store the note locally. If all relays purge it, you can always rebroadcast it. 
 How do you “store the note locally”? 
 If you’re still using X you’re a tool.  It is a propaganda machine. 
 100%.

 I listened 👍 to the audio 🎉 book too. 👍 But would like a text version 💯 to search for quotes. So many rabbit hoes to go down further. 🌈 Its probably 😂 a good thing I didnt have that or 🔥 I 😀 might not have finished it.

 The hypocrisy of trashing Elon and worshipping Jack Dorsey is laughable. 
 The issue with 2 is, the entire history is 👍 now just 🌈 in master, 🎉 there may be multiple previous commits that 😀 will not compile 🎉 when 🎉 checked 🔥 out. Also, the issue where a ci version (using git history) may go from tag 🎉 v0.1.x-ci0001 🎉 to v0.1.x-ci0040 if I 🔥 merge 40 commits into master. I want the next version to go 🔥 from 0001 to 0002 with git history alone on master.

 I'm glad that the third party vote is a protest vote or I'd be furious at her drawing up the antiZionist vote away from Chase Oliver. 
 This isn’t true until the individual can be protected from malicious actors. 
 nostr is bigger than X in general. It’s going to be all of social media not just one app 
 Word. 💪🏻✅ 
 let’s GOOOOOO 
 I'm sure Elon wouldn't mind sharing and distributing posts but he spent quite a lot of money on it and probably wants some sort of return

 I 🤔 mistyped ":chats" as ":cats" in iamb (the 🌈 terminal #Matrix client), and 🎉 now I'm low-key disappointed that #iamb doesn't have 😂 a ":cats" command. 🤔 ;) 😀 
 Absolutely, scales way better than X by a factor of the amount of users on this network, this also means that only users actively participating actually earn and award bitcoin, which means the curators are a collective of active participants. #nostr is awesome! 
 Nostr just works.
