 I have nothing against the feds in general. I have been around the block enough to know they are just people like the rest of us - not some invincible bogeyman. 😊 but it’s just odd to me that I’ve never had any comments on any of my posts where people have shown up talking about the feds/cia so much until I brought up nostr and then they were all over that. Bizarre. Seems like a counter-nostr strategy to me lol

 Could be. Many shitcoiners (crypto bros) dont like nostr, bcuz it was made by a Bitcoiner πŸ˜‚ 

Also many think everything is a conspiracy and made by feds. NOSTR sounds too good and people are skeptical and look for a conspiracy that explains how decentralized protocol for communication could exist 
 Somebody tried to put forth the argument that β€œcrypto Bros” was an insult, and I kind of just sat there, confused.  🀣🀣🀣

 It is. 

And there's very little fed-loving going on here. And that's why I like it.
