Really important point made here: relay operators should be prepared for getting take-down orders. The more nostr matures, the worse this is going to get. The point of nostr is not that you can ignore these takedown orders while fooling yourself into thinking that you somehow operate outside of the law because you run a nostr relay (or worse, put the people contacting you into actual danger while probably violating even more laws as you're at it). Nostr does not prevent you from getting these orders or complying with them, unless you want to make yourself liable. What Nostr *does* do is decentralize the content, so that it shouldn't matter if Will takes something down or Primal takes something down, bc other relays will still host the content. If the only solution we see to dealing with these issues is being a child about it – instead of, idk, further decentralizing nostr hosting/broadcasting and treating it as a real problem we all need to deal with – we're in for a wild ride. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqqsvefus4xs4kh6nvndp9hypsr8u7gzysxyzms52kcfeju4svzpseqg7dtl03

I always liked Damus and thought it was great that there was an alternative client to primal, but today I'm deleting Damus off my phone and removing any relays operated by JB. I don't care about anyone's petty posting fights, but i will not be using any technology operated by someone who will "happily doxx" people. I suggest you do the same. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj9qqspc7e70k4lkp8czxa9z2vn5vgevp8g87x4zd3f2ecrfjeuwr8dpzstw2h3t

I dont think the ministry of silly zaps are aware of the problem they are creating for nostr. No serious developer that knows anything about bitcoin is going to implement this proposal. Instead of focusing on making zaps easier for everyone, normies will be even more confused as to why zap this way and not another way. This makes getting into zapping even harder: just like when SW and WW were constantly battling over who is better, people just stayed away from coinjoins all together bc they didnt know who was right. Lose lose lose situation. nostr:nevent1qqsd5umkpc62k57w9jn8udqs2rz696h7ln46pwclse5k34x765udzvspz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7q3qq3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnwsxpqqqqqqz3zzsnu

Someone has to say it: You cannot support Oslo Freedom Forum while supporting human rights. Today I checked my spam folder and saw that the HRF has announced that Venezuelan opposition candidate Maria Corina Machado will be speaking at this year's OFF. In December, Julian Assange filed a criminal complaint against the Nobel Foundation for awarding last years peace prize to Machado, arguing – with substantial legal basis – that the payout of the 1M$ prize money would amount to complicity in war crimes. Machado has repeatedly called for US bombing of her own country, has endorsed the US' extrajudicial killings of fishermen at sea – classified as war crimes by countless legal scholars around the world –, and has told Netanyahu that she "greatly appreciates his decisions and resolute actions in the course of war, as well as Israel's achievements," according to the Israeli government. In case you are wondering, that is the same Netanyahu who currently has an outstanding arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and whose government has been found to plausibly be infringing on the UN Genocide Convention by the International Court of Justice. Go to OFF for all I care and tell yourself that you are doing something good for bitcoin. But know that if you do, you are, quite literally, taking a stand against humanity. https://blossom.primal.net/f313afa26ac9b88520c55944e87ce11c19bcc817bc14c1d7518bbf678afa0d72.png
