 Onions

 Oh, I don't know why I thought of some kind of joke 🤦‍♂️ 
 Let me try. Why did the onion cross the road?  
 👀 
 Zaps 
 Zaps are more than receive money for your posts 
 No hay cancel culture ni nada asi. Tambien es realmente global. Las demas redes sociales se inlcinan a ser domesticadas por el pais de donde son. #nostr se siente realmente global y hay gente de todas partes del mundo hablando y posteando aqui. Gracias a nostr ahora mas o menos conozco a gente de todos lados! Es increible! 

Twitter/x se siente demasiado Americano por ejemplo. Y wii chat no mames jajaja 😂

🤙🏽🍻🚀 #simplementenostr !!! 
 Otra víctima de los algoritmos impuestos 
 No entiendo. Como me afectan los algoritmos en nostr?  
 No, me refiero en Twitter, que lo que describes ocurre allá debido al algoritmo impuesto unilateralmente… en Nostr de introducir algoritmos, no creo que sean impuestos, probablemente podamos escoger o crearlos fácilmente mediante listas inteligentes o feeds 
 Ahhh ok si! Jaja perdon mal entendi.

En twitter no me da ganas de decir nada. 😂🤙🏽nimodo...

 Si he visto hablar de algoritmos en nostr ultimamente. Por ahora me espero a ver si se convierte en algo problematico. 

Nos mantienes informados no?! 🫡🤙🏽💯 
 Mientras no se imponga a todos no va a ser un problema… siempre daré mi opinión poco popular sobre estos temas 🔥🫡 
 Unless I screw something up bigtime... No KYC, no ties to anything with KYC, and can just burn it and walk away without being harassed.  
 No KYC is undervalued for the common people 
 But … I’d miss you beave. 😢 
 Well, thanks.  
 Nadie podrá eliminar mi cuenta #nostr ni mi contenido. Ni yo mismo. 
 Como debe ser realmente 
 resistance to censorship 
 For me, the best reason 
 Real freedom! 

Freedom tech that can’t be stopped (relays)

Freedom of speech (no central authority)

Freedom to be who you want(no kyc)

Freedom to interact with who/what I want (no algorithms) 
 Algorithms are on the way, but not imposed (I think) 
 The relay devs stopped making the relays lol 
 It's going to be a dark part, and this is where clients and relays are going to start to differentiate themselves with respect to the competition... in addition to how they handle moderation... yes, we could easily fall into another Twitter 
 Por ahora esto no me preocupa. Definitivamente es algo en que fijarse... Pero dudo que sea convierta en gran problema.  
 No creo que todos los devs conviertan su cliente en un nuevo twitter, por eso es importante la descentralizacion 
 Look at the great moderation polices coming to some relays 

https://nostrify.dev/policy/all#regexpolicy 
 Everyone is not going to be committed to freedom of expression, but it's normal, I knew it was going to happen... each time some are going to become more censorious instead of leaving it to the users' decision... it is normal that it happens 
 You need some kinda censorship otherwise spam and CSAM can destroy a relays. Nostrs free4all decisions was very dumb and shows that nobody building the software understands system administration  
 I can think of fleeting ideas but I don't know how difficult they would be to implement... in the same way there is always the option of nuking the relay, although it is the last alternative... really today I can't think of anything concrete for that problem 
 Competing tech to nostr allows you to handle these types of situations easily without nuking your local node or community for 1 bad actor.

Nostr now  is a open notepad file to the world that anyone can write to.  Jb55 of damus created an issue on strfry because his node was getting spammed and needed had to dump the db and do weird hacky shit 

This open design just dont work in reality  
 I have to read more about this part and listen to other devs, you also commented on something similar a few days ago and it also left me thinking 
 Yes..nobody is listening to me.
The ditto relay is actually designed correctly and built for scale.  Not ready yet  
 No algos is a feature not a bug 
 never having a post removed 
 As it should be 
 Se denuncia é removido  
 Mas vc pode rodar o próprio relay ou usar um relay de alguém que não remova o conteúdo denunciado. 
 3 não é difícil isso tu só precisa trocar de relay  
 Sim, em alguns servidores sim, outros não. 
 i can sit down and write some shitty code in 5 min and make it do something awesome 
 oh and zaps. the shitty code i write in 5 min usually has something to do with zaps though. 
 being part of the new Internet, and zaps
