Interesting. Given us a lot to think about. Though I’m curious to see how the consensus of Nostr will respond to this, if any, or not at all
I do see Nostr being THE solution, if governments + social media took away our freedom of speech & expression on the internet.
Or if we lose our right to privacy/encrypted speech, tearing away our ability to be pseudonymous on social media, thus, leading us to be on Nostr to retain some, if not all, of that freedom.
But what if the worst case scenarios never happens?
But we still fall victim to the subtle erosion of our free speech with small changes to the term of service policies implemented under our nose, like how inflation does to the dollar with the money printing machine.
People will still stick to the legacy social media if their whole lives are on those platforms & they’ll make compromises until it gets TOO uncomfortable, hence, Twitter turning into X & people leaving to Bluesky, which could in turn, lead to another corrupted system.
Again, something to think about. Thanks for bringing up the NOSTR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS 🫡

quoting nevent1q…te94Sharing this directly on Nostr. Let's hope it works this time.
This essay builds on the last one I wrote (As Nostr as Possible), but focuses specifically on some ‘sacred cows’ in the space whose time for slaying may have arrived.
It's not shitting on Nostr (far from it). It's about a different perspective and relationship to the protocol.
I hope this kicks off a few discussions.
