 the same people who voluntarily verified their identities on twitter for more engagement are outraged when a presidential candidate suggests it as policy

a common dynamic in modern society: people are much more willing for the state to step on them if there is a corporate middle man in between

big tech is slavery.
freedom tech is hope. 🫡 
 Idiots

There is one mothership… The BIS. https://image.nostr.build/cd7440755dbad51aac0f6cd19aa4f97c43b3519267022f2099b99db47afc7858.jpg  
 Snowden indirectly repeated same in nostrasia 
 Nice. What did he say or what was his take? 
 As long as the private sector is the tyrant, it’s all good, man. 
 This is about @MartyBent, isn't it? 🤣🤣🤣 
 Everything that can be censored, will be censored 
 Well, I don't like the whole Twitter odeal myself but at least they could opt out any time. That's vastly different from a government regulation.

 The same people will still prefer to pay $7 ~ $11 per month for Elon's pocket for buying freedom of digital speech 
 Wen Zion? 
 Fuck your twitter hate you fucking buttcoin blowhard 
 The intellectual disconnect people have with believing decentralized government is best, but thinking anything but centralized corporations is “socialism” is the weirdest normie trend ever.

 We are the pirates of freedom technology..

#nostr is our ship, and #bitcoin the treasure we buried on some isolated island, our cold storage.. argh!  🏴‍☠️☠️

 Poor take Odell.

*Everyone* should reject mandatory identity verification *including* those that agreed to it voluntarily. 
 Sounds a lot like the textbook definition of fascism. 
 To be fair, choosing to reveal your identity is extremely different than being forced to. 
 True dat 
 Agreed! People do the same thing for ChatGPT, not realizing they are giving away so much personal information to an AI... Private platform using Open-Source models is the way ( www.sats4ai.com )  
 Agreed.
