“Really “international law” does not exist in any meaningful way, which is why powerful governments always just ignore it while the people who are actually detained by the ICC are always from weaker nations (overwhelmingly African). Perhaps nothing better exemplifies this dynamic than the the US government’s American Service-Members’ Protection Act, better known as the Hague Invasion Act. This 2002 law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any US or US-allied military personnel from any ICC attempt to prosecute them for war crimes. “US-allied” would ostensibly include Israeli forces.
In truth our world is ruled by tyrants who do whatever they want to do, and their actions are justified by the mass media who function as propagandists for the US-centralized power structure. Pundits weep and rend their garments over Russian crimes while defending, minimizing and obfuscating the far greater crimes of Israel, because Israel is a part of that globe-spanning power structure while Russia is not.”

lol, no it’s just me doing this, @jb55 nuked the damus relay a few days ago, so I’m running a little experiment on what it’s like to just run on that one relay post nuke
for example, I few minutes ago I went to look at his timeline and there wasn’t much there, since the relay got deleted and most of his notes haven’t been rebroadcasted to the damus relay again
and also i only see one of your notes!
so not recommended
adding a blastr relay seems to be useful however
newbies should just use one relay that flags and removes content based on guidelines, this would attract more users
but that’s not what nostr is!! wtaf?
meh, multiple relays is the feature, sure, but most people aren’t going to care about that, at least not yet; let’s learn from a company that claims to be pro free speech and has lost billions in value
the old phone still has the app with the sats
you just send it to a new Lightning wallet
and then send the remaining sats to WoS to zero out the account
