The entire purpose of Nostr is about true censorship resistance and speech autonomy. That doesn’t exist with AP. Even if you self host, others can block your instance and no one will think twice about why the server is on the list.

Nostr gives you more granular control. You can block the nazis or anyone else. There are projects in the works building the equivalent of a Fediblock if you want to take it that far.

Yes, you’re thinking of Libertarian Socialism, which is what I predominantly subscribe to.

You must be American. You should research Libertarian. It’s one step before Anarchist.

American Libertarians, perhaps. They do seem to have been co-opted by some who left the Republican party.

Libertarians are not right-wing lmao

Plebbit is dead

Instances mean you’re at the mercy of the admin not to ban you. No one can ban you on Nostr.

Also, it isn’t crypto bros. It’s only Bitcoiners. No one supports the degenerate pump and dump crypto scams.

I’m being downvoted for telling the truth?

Codeberg pages

The Chinese are still laughing because they covertly using their EV cars as trojans

cool

Yup, it’s sad. Oxen is/was a Monero fork, with some actual privacy. Now their pivot to a centralized, VC-backed PoS like Eth that has no privacy is just overall disappointing. It more or less confirms my earlier suspicions that Session devs only care about enriching themselves. The “Sybil resistance” excuse for requiring such a high amount of capital to contribute a node is just a bunch of BS.

It’s just the new AI porn saying “watch me plsss”

If you want layman’s for all of those then use beeper.com heh. Those all are the open source Matrix bridges and a reskinned Element app

And sadly the biggest competitor is Rumble and it’s terrible

You should check out Orion. Now that’s the best browser for iOS with both Firefox/Chrome extension support.

Also, if you’re worried about logging, you could set up a bulletproof, anon VPS you paid for in cash/crypto from a host who doesn’t KYC. Then, set it as a community node, and then configure Portmaster to only accept your SPN entry node as your own VPS. That way, you can know that when you enter the SPN it’s through a VPS you’ve ensured isn’t tied to your identity, doesn’t log, and is your starting point before being routed through other random locations.

SPN has a maximum of 3 hops (same as Tor), unlike Proton, IVPN, Nord, etc that do a dual-VPN, multihop, whatever you want to call it, with only 2 hops.

I’ve added 2 additional hops via hardware network infra through VPN chaining and I still achieve upwards of 150mbps down on a 1gbps connection with a total of 5 hops. So, I feel the speed achieved considering so many hops is pretty amazing. Of course, depending on the locations routed, may have high ms ping.

Even if you just purchase 1 month, the worst case scenario is you’ve lost $8. The best case scenario is you’ve found your new fav open-source Linux network manager with an onion router like me.
