This is indeed terrible. As the attacks intensify, it bears remembering the fiercer their oppression, the greater their desperation. Naked, brutal displays of power reveal a fatal weakness: they have set themselves against the people. Sooner or later, the dam bursts.
On a technical level, I am optimistic the technology of decentralized platforms like Bitcoin and Nostr will survive no matter how much they try to destroy it. Why? Because today and every day, people are still using BitTorrent.
Even after all the heads are chopped off, a decentralized network is an idea, and an idea cannot be killed.
Meanwhile, it has become clear that the United States and the West writ large are lost already. The empire will eventually crumble under the weight of its own demagoguery, greed, cruelty, and hunger for unlimited power. There will be many casualties. In Gaza, in the US, in countless places around the world. Brace for impact. Stay resilient, stay vigilant.

quoting note1fwn…95jsTelegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested in France…
If there is a throat to choke, it will be choked.
If there is a head to cut off, it will be cut off.
Platform owners that bend the knee to totalitarianism will censor and deplatform you.
Platform owners that do not comply will be arrested and threatened with the full force of “The Law.”
Nostr is a Hydra. You cannot kill Nostr. There is no single throat to choke, no one head to cut off. Succeed in cutting off one head and two will grow in its place.
