 The focus of nostr should be to be a place of freedom for those under oppressive governments. Nostr can be a place of refuge for those in countries like Iran, who have no access to any platform where they can speak freely. 
 It is to a degree, unfortunately it is banned in many countries.  
 nost can’t be banned 
 Yeah, but People's internet connection can be in socialist countries.  
 which countries? 
 China, North Korea, ect.  
 It makes it harder for normies but not the savvy. China still has 20% of the world's hash power despite it being illegal to mine there. 
 Totally true. Since joining here, I've noticed that I like Nostr more than other platforms. Our government is limiting and targeting other apps and us. But here, we can speak freely without censorship.  speaking freely on decentralize apps like Nostr is an advantage.
