 We have about a year. This place is going to become a heart of the Internet. Everyone is going to join us! The tyranny is going to advertise the shit outta #nostr

 @ODELL was right 
 Elon’s dream come true 
 This is haunting. Fuck these authoritarians. 
 I’m afraid gringos don’t have a year though.

😉 
 Which part of a broken nation, economy and people doesn’t compute?

Wars and plagues are expensive. 
 holy shit what is wrong with these people! National security is never increased by invasions of privacy. More like government officials' insecurities. 
 Crazy 
 Twitter, all Meta products, even silly things like Tinder… everyone is pushing for Verification 
 Grotesque 
 Its always about control. They will print more and more and the control will expand as well. Shit gonna get real. 
 The only thing that’s gonna do is isolate gringos since shithole countries won’t be able to do, and the random killings are gonna be constrained to gringos and local platform to grow

 Maybe KYC for tinder is not a bad idea. 😆😆 After you're looking for someone for close contact. Let's just leave it at that.  
 Not a the worst idea for people who want for safety an checks yes. For everyone else a nope. And another company that will leak your data, eventually. 
 Hmm...leaking is always a concern, with everything. 

Maybe a tinder verified and an unverified.  
 Verify everything. “Only terrorists and criminals don’t want to be verified. Are you a bad guy too?” 
 The statement is false, so no need to answer the question. 😆 
 Please verify in next 30 days to use “write”, “message” and “repost”. If you have any questions write us an email. We are here to help and support. State inc. 
 Oh you mean you missed the “Terrorist until proven innocent” part of the Constitution? Silly you. 
 People are having independent thoughts again. Shut down the internet! 
 NOW 
 Shutting down internet won’t stop independent thinking, but by all means, go right ahead. Would do wonders without politicians having any means to justify their random killings.

🎚️ 
 Straight to gulag! 
 Leaking and failure to maintain the structure.

Not as simple as the politicians greed for power and control believe it to be. 
 For that to even be plausible besides political douchery is to eradicate deviance in governance.

If they can do that, it’s plausible for them to succeed, but politicians are deviance defined, so that’s a challenge. 
 Man, the future is purple.

 Do you think this would just be a catalyst to end social media? Depends if you think social media will ever end? ( I sort of do see it ending, even waning perhaps right now). 

Or... It's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of social media. Like and subscribe.

🤔 
 What actually counts as social media? Would messageboards? I still wanna see the rebirth of the messageboard 
 Everything 
 Social media will never disappear, it will just be heavy regulated, and just as addictive as it is now. I already cant see “news” in app in Canada cause our laws are obtuse. 

The counter-strike lobbies will be the last bastion of freedom for the average citizen. 
 Regulated to death. 
 Sanitized 
 Soulless and bland like corpo comic books 
 In some sense that’s great. Platforms like nostr are gonna prosper.

Special case would the engineers get the piping right so that the user experience doesn’t feel so amateur hour

Although they tried the verifiable thing and the only thing it did was to cause conflict and then war since uncle putin wouldn’t have gringos in charge of that, which is the biggest challenge with a global ID system. 
 That's what I mean, this will probably cause some sort of drop off in usage, added with the drop in participation and usage anyway.

Also when you say all social media. Do you think the dungeonsynth forum, just as an example, would fall into this? It would seem to mean 'social media' being the public square sort of meta and xtwitter. 🤔 
 Major corps, even Yahoo might stop their message boards if it starts seeing traffic. 

Any. Centralized. Host. Will bend, or break to the central government. Twitter under new management already bent to Erdogan. 

Please see can I have my revenue? 
 No idea. I agree participation would drop significantly 
 Verify everything with an ID 
 She is hilariously dumb. They want control over your voice so bad they’ll try anything 
 Cannot disagree there 😂 
 the woman has worst take ive ever heard
 
 Its nothing unusual. Very common these days. “Choke me harder daddy I need to feel safe”. 
 Wanted: a "live free or get verified" shirt...will pay sats
