Oddbean new post about login | logout I wonder how many fed spooks have been on #nostr since it's creation. They wouldn't just sit back and watch, they would infiltrate as soon as possible to securely position themselves to be able to have enough influence to sway and create divisive discourse when and if the time came.
I just assume everyone is a bot, spying on me, or this is all giant sandbox into the void. Then I am just pleasantly surprised if I happen to have a nice conversation every now and again with someone who may actually be a nice person. I'm here just to learn uncensored information. While venting my frustrations in a constructive way. Knowing full well this is just all a form of self therapy for me.
The network is designed so that all nodes can be adversarial 🫂 I like to think nostr is similar We can’t
Can you elaborate?
Satoshi said something like that It’s all about not trusting but verifying We aren’t “working together” to run Bitcoin, we all run Bitcoin because it benefits us individually. You can see it with nostr a bit when we had replyguy and other spammers challenge and help the development of the tech So it’s not collective altruism, but individual self-interest that makes these things work. 🫡 important to be clear about V4V and pay foss devs, but that should also be in the user’s self interest if they are being honest with themselves
Good point.
