quoting note1jkc…yh32This is so insane…
Brazil banning X and fine anyone $8,000 per day if they see them use X via VPN
quoting note15q7…5kfxGM, we've created a Brazilian #Ditto server! We're still working on the name. We are looking for feedback, and to make connections with Brazilian influencers. This is our time to shine, Nostr!

It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.
When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.
Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.
Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.
If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.

quoting note1kth…twjqNostr has oddly freed me from the constant pressure of social media.
I no longer worry about algorithms punishing me for not posting regularly. On Nostr, quality and effort are genuinely appreciated, and value flows regardless of how often I post. It's liberating to focus on real life, knowing my work will still be valued when I share them.
Plus I now have the time and space to experiment with new tools and learn new topics! 🧑🏫
quoting note1s3k…kv4xThe fine for people using VPNs to access it is crazy.
And the judge really does look like a comic book villain.
