 Man, remember when Australia imprisoned Novak Djokovic for not wanting to bend the knee? They literally put the world's healthiest human in a cage for "health reasons". Now it's obvious that he was on the right side of history, but we still haven't seen an apology. That, plus the whole "five eyes" thing doesn't make Australia too appetizing for me. 

Just my 2 sats.  
 I wouldn’t set foot on that island if you paid me. 
 Disappointing 
 Your government scares me just as much as my own does.

I can just stay here and be aggravated. 
 I feel politics should be left to the side and best to do what’s good for Nostr and growing Nostr. 
 It sounds like Australia might need Nostr the most then? 

To be clear, I don't care where we go. I'll be there no matter what. 
 You are prob right that Australia needs Nostr more than most. I just don't feel like going there. 😅 

But same as you, I'll go wherever the event ends up.  
 I hear France really likes censorship resistant networks.  
 👆 I’ll go wherever it is also.  Just don’t let them co-opt the nostrich with a kangaroo.

No props for Africa? 
 What? 
 Bad AUStrich joke 
 Must be pick on Australia Day.😜 
 What you said 🤙🏽 
 I love the aus nostriches, and I am not voluntarily stepping in the gulag 
 I always wanted to travel to AUS but yes after the shit they've pulled in the last few years, it's moved waaaay down on my list

Prison island  
 Wow, I didn’t realize until now that they literally imprisoned him.

 good times when I wasn't allowed to go into stores... good ol' times

 New Zealand also needs nostr 
 Well that was years ago and things have changed.
The biggest and best part of having it in Oz is that we have Julian Assange since he lives here and who better than him to attend Nostr in person? 
 If he even agrees to attend.   
 Stella said he would. 
 Love that! 
 He's got a point.... Australia was the fucking worst...   I had friends who had the worst time and it took forever to escape and leave the country. 

Yeah. It's a no vote for me. But I will go if ya'll decide it's happening there and is in the flow for me.

 Being downunder & in the worse city for lockdowns during covid (Melbourne) Many of us pushed back with weekly peaceful demonstrations, but it was when the ‘rubber bullets’ came out that many of the normies said ‘i give up, too hard’ 

We have that period to thank for the ‘awakeness’  that many gained from all the censorship at the time.  A good % of those that pushed back ended up finding alternative media/news sources .  I’m doing my best to wake up a few of my close friends to bitcoin/nostr freedoms 👌 
 thank you, for sharing and pushing back!  
 Remember that issue, yeah. What is the „five eyes“ thing though?
