 Do we all agree that X is now state-"owned" media again? 
 Owned and used by evil people with no morals. This is a cautionary tale for freedom tech. 
 🤡 
 I dream of a world where women aren’t threatened and called names online for having a contrary opinion. 
 @jack do we all agree??? 
 Huge opportunity to orange pill people on the left … 
 Thought they moved to Bluesky 
 Damn, we’ll have to go get them and bring em here 
 Not all of them… I think the BlueSky folks are more performative and like interacting with ‘famous’ people. The lefty anarchists are mostly on the Fediverse, or at least they should be.

It’s called BS for a reason… 
 Even the people we might not like should be on here 
 Agreed. I count my self among the left leaning anarchists and it’s rather uncommon round these parts but I also appreciate views different from my own. 
 Or do we have a media-owned state now? 
 definitely doing some parallel play with the state 
 No we don’t agree. Twitter was state owned under Jack. Did you not see the “Twitter Files”? Do you not remember the mass banning of conservatives on Twitter leading up to the 2016 election? 
 Yes, but it is still a centralized social network. And centralization is the problem. 
 😂🤣 ya technically it will be once Elon gets into office. 

This is all a military operation so X and Elon is being controlled and operated by the military. 

It shall get more interesting as we get close to the inauguration  
 Yeah, I also think this election is a military op since 2020. Cossette-Trudel (Radio Québec) explains that very well since years. 
 Since we’re going mean … let’s not forget these men below 👇 why? It matters.

 Aaron Swartz and some guy? 
 Some guy? Yeah that guy is ... Sam Altman. In his defense his name kind of speaks for itself. 🤣🤣🤣

Same as Diddy …. And others  
 The shilling of trump and elon and neocon pro-isreal is insane right now 
 safe to say 
 Ahahah true 
 And be careful with Starlink, Neuralink, etc

 Yes we 💯 agree. The owner itself is a state owned asset.
Elon wouldn't be in this position without enormous government subsidies.  
 Nah, campaign assistance always came from private lobbying. 
 🌎👨‍🚀👈👨‍🚀 
 Always has been 
 Absolutely and the bitcoiners eating it up on there have lost their way. 
 What happened? 
 Nostr is the place to be. There is no second best. 
 Musk is a net negative for humanity. He holds too much power, and there’s no such thing as “good power.” 
 at least Elon is opposite direction power - positive for a new balance 
 I think its a bit disingenuous to compare old left wing Twitter and their cooperation with government censorship, and new Twitter with its free speech and all are welcome philosophy. Surely that is more important than what affiliations certain staff have.

Free speech™: now with propaganda 
 Yes

 😄 But open source at least. 
And it sounds like Elon wants to open source most of the government... 
 key word: most 
 Yes, the cognitive dissonance of the simps is amazing to watch. 
 We will see 
 That makes sense. 🤔 
 Which one isn’t? 
 Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau, I want to make my master degree final project on nostr-related area. Can you propose an interesting topic of research or suggest an idea to work on?  
 Which area of research are you in? Computer science? Cryptography?  
 System programming, I must create a final project, implement it, defend it, show how it works and why is a good alternative to what we have.  
 I was thinking implementing a nostr-relay, but I think there are already many good ones (maybe we can do more, but I don't see it), maybe a marketplace, some nwc new ideas,  idk. I wish I could find something exciting, because I must work on the project for almost one year, so, I want to choose right, to use that time and effort studying something that worth it for me.  
 "power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely" 
 yes. without a doubt. it's literally owned by someone that works for the us goverment. 
 Sorta 
 Ironischerweise ist das so. 🤣

 I’m not sure if X is state owned or X has owned the state. Either way. Yes.  
 When you say state-"owned" are you referring to deep state three letter agency owned?  Or is it more owned by a state positioned oligarch with a politically skewed algorithm? 
 Owned by a private investor who happens to have a political opinion (like all humans) and is willing to help the government for free!!!... does not make X a media puppet of the state. 

So no. Your assessment is False for me !! 
 Trump administration hasn't started yet. X is a collection of various view points, many retarded many in good taste. It would be my go-to state sponsored media platform by far.  
 There is an eternal battle between the flourishing human spirit enunciated in the individual, a divine aspect and those who hate God and wish to subvert the eternal eschaton for the temporal one dreamed up by satan and his slaves.  X (formerly twitter) is a algorithmically curated platform, boosting and dismissing ideas encoded in strings of characters, images and videos produced by mostly first world users in this battle.  The real question is, is the algorithm set by those with divine right to rule, or those usurping the will of God, participating in their hellbound reiteration of man's original sin? There is no meme. I love you. 
 X has owned the state 

and i have plan

 who can connect me to ELON?

need to chat to him. URGENT 
 Got banned twice. 
 Must be because Elon is US Gov employee 😂 
 Always has been... 
 No offense intended to Jack or Rabble...
