 Some say #Nostr is a social media alternative, but I disagree 💯. I believe it is a protocol that could replace the internet itself. Since the Edison vs. Tesla era, technologies have not evolved naturally; instead, they have been intentionally driven by capitalists wielding financial power. Now, the search results you get from Google are just a collection of products designed to exploit your personal information, and many programs on YouTube serve as propaganda to control people. Have you ever imagined a world where people connect using a Web of Trust to verify the reality they perceive? This might be our last chance to challenge and overcome the powers that be to secure internet #freedom . I'm committed to doing whatever it takes to achieve this for all of us✊🫂⚡❣️🌍 
 internet is tcp/ip not going to chnage
others run on top 
 mesh/satellite?  maybe apply to guv. funded transition (0_o) 
 it not about pure technology - abt how citizens in their jurisdictions adopts to policy 
protocol are useless unless people on ground knows to use. people learn is HARDWAY only.  do a survey see how many really those special ones. it will be handful for many non-technical reasons 
 yes, pain is already pushing imo 
 i get ya & agree 
 true but in this context i was not that pedantic talking about "internet" as a technological term, instead, citing the experience, the result and etc people perceive through it
