That's just ausies pumping on GH, most folks don't participate on gihub.  

 Where are most folks commenting then?  

 Bigger countries must have more people here, in #nostr 

 Nostr only for those of us non-techs  

 I live in the USA and I voted for Nostralia. Don’t trust, verify. 

 You sure ? you sure it wasn’t that it wasn’t going the way yall wanted it to go aka South America ? lol 

hella sus & even outside GH the consensus ISNT South America so why bother asking if yall have no intention in listening https://i.nostr.build/oqM8NfHylFOMpnUZ.jpg  

 💯 

 My point exactly! 

 Man, remember when Australia imprisoned Novak Djokovic for not wanting to bend the knee? They literally put the world's healthiest human in a cage for "health reasons". Now it's obvious that he was on the right side of history, but we still haven't seen an apology. That, plus the whole "five eyes" thing doesn't make Australia too appetizing for me. 

Just my 2 sats.  

 I wouldn’t set foot on that island if you paid me. 

 Disappointing 

 Your government scares me just as much as my own does.

I can just stay here and be aggravated. 

 I feel politics should be left to the side and best to do what’s good for Nostr and growing Nostr. 

 It sounds like Australia might need Nostr the most then? 

To be clear, I don't care where we go. I'll be there no matter what. 

 You are prob right that Australia needs Nostr more than most. I just don't feel like going there. 😅 

But same as you, I'll go wherever the event ends up.  

 I hear France really likes censorship resistant networks.  

 👆 I’ll go wherever it is also.  Just don’t let them co-opt the nostrich with a kangaroo.

No props for Africa? 

 What? 

 Bad AUStrich joke 

 Must be pick on Australia Day.😜 

 What you said 🤙🏽 

 I love the aus nostriches, and I am not voluntarily stepping in the gulag 

 I always wanted to travel to AUS but yes after the shit they've pulled in the last few years, it's moved waaaay down on my list

Prison island  

 Wow, I didn’t realize until now that they literally imprisoned him.

 good times when I wasn't allowed to go into stores... good ol' times

 New Zealand also needs nostr 

 Well that was years ago and things have changed.
The biggest and best part of having it in Oz is that we have Julian Assange since he lives here and who better than him to attend Nostr in person? 

 If he even agrees to attend.   

 Stella said he would. 

 Love that! 

 He's got a point.... Australia was the fucking worst...   I had friends who had the worst time and it took forever to escape and leave the country. 

Yeah. It's a no vote for me. But I will go if ya'll decide it's happening there and is in the flow for me.

 Being downunder & in the worse city for lockdowns during covid (Melbourne) Many of us pushed back with weekly peaceful demonstrations, but it was when the ‘rubber bullets’ came out that many of the normies said ‘i give up, too hard’ 

We have that period to thank for the ‘awakeness’  that many gained from all the censorship at the time.  A good % of those that pushed back ended up finding alternative media/news sources .  I’m doing my best to wake up a few of my close friends to bitcoin/nostr freedoms 👌 

 thank you, for sharing and pushing back!  

 Remember that issue, yeah. What is the „five eyes“ thing though? 

 Derek 🫂 

 It's we land in Australia so be it. Heard some shady stories about customs there so personally I'm hesitant on traveling there.  

 From Australians 😂 

 I really like the idea of having it in Australia and inviting nostr:nprofile1qqsr80thu5u52gr5074wzw22ft6l53l5qsufva3htdku005xtmvpg5spzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0tk4rx4 and Julian. 

 i was thinking the same thing 

 Reminds me of the nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp quote:

 I'm for Australia but not Julian fwiw, unless he's surrendered his ego

 Next year Nostalia?

 We need to see doot on stage. 

 Australia could be either the best or worst choice for the next Nostr unconference.

We have DigitalID rolling out by the end of this year. We also have an mis- & disinformation bill in parliament that will roll out within the next year which seeks to give our Ministry of Truth the ability to remove content from the internet if it could result in “harm”, and “harm” is so broadly defined (pic 1) that it’s going to give them free reign to censor anything and everything.

The MoT run by eKaren (an American woman who is 100% a CIA asset) has been tasked by parliament to develop a roadmap toward social media identity verification and have it implemented by August 2025 (pic 2).

This is now being publicly pushed as FoR dA cHILdReN after eKaren censored videos of a Bishop being stabbed by an immigrant, ordered Xitter to take them down GLOBALLY and then lost a court battle because they didn’t have that authority - they’re shoring up the law so the courts won’t have any choice but to allow them do whatever they want, and they can identify anyone who posts wrongthink.

By the time the next unconference rolls around it’s likely #AUStriches will be fully KYCed for all other social media.

So obviously we need #nostr, and interest here could be massive - possibly the first version of the event to break out beyond our existing sphere.

However, whilst the odds are low, they’re non-zero that the Gov will fuck this up. Denying visas is their most likely course of action (if any) - they’ve done this heaps of times for politically unfavoured individuals. 

I don’t think they’ll gulag Nostr CEOs next year, odds of that are very low, but I don’t know they won’t either. More likely go after relay operators.

But this is probably the last chance to do it in Aus. Go out 12 months beyond these laws rolling out and I reckon then it would be too uncomfortable and the Gov would be more ready to come down on this.

I reckon it’s now or never. https://i.nostr.build/D3SzkllYEPs9Q19V.jpg https://i.nostr.build/c7CrdluD9HCNQAY4.jpg  

 Yikes. It honestly sounds like Australians need Nostr now more than ever. 

 Yep, and Nostr could take off here because of the crackdowns. 

But people need to bear in mind this isn’t the US; we don’t have constitutionally protected free speech, we’re a developed prison colony which LARPs about being laidback and lucky when in reality we’re Canada with nicer weather. 

 yea, but my kids love the show Bluey. Thats some fine aussie animation right there. 

 Also we're full. 

 #Nozstr 

 Land of the commies. Beautiful place, but I’d be careful not to get locked down there if I were you. Had some friends who lost their minds last time

 When you know... you know 

 Argentina is in the right momentum 

 In March, Buenos Aires is a beautiful city to visit. 
Logistically, it's much easier to get there with direct flights. 

We can combine it with a Bitcoin event (friends organizing that for those dates) 🍊🔥.
#NostrAires 

 Love Uruguay 

 That would be my first choice. Excellent conference facility right by the seashore in the middle of the city. Super safe city. 

 But what about the name then!? #Nostruguay? 🤪 

 Depends on how you pronounce the last syllable. 

 #Nostrina and ##Nostrilia Spind better 

 #Nostrvideo 

 Never been to Uruguay but has been on my list. Count me in! 

 Uruguay Is near 

 This is the seaside conference facility viewed from the top floor of the hotel across the street in Montevideo. Awesome sandy beach to the right (out of view) https://image.nostr.build/debdccc61b755db6e1b99d585c77a796236fde45670fae0e01f8a434ee9545da.jpg  

 so beatifull😍 

 Paraguay, anyone? 

 in Argentina we need it... it would be great
en argentina lo necesitamos... sería genial 

 Ojalá! Siempre escucho buenas cosas del país y su gente, los argentinos que he conocido soléis ser buena onda, y ahora creo que es buen momento hacer cosas allí. 

 es un país bellísimo, con miles de paisajes: cataratas, sierras, cordilleras, galseares, playas, monte...
