The enshittification of traditional messengers and communication platforms are what inspired us to create Vector and thankfully discover Nostr.

These are the precise types of reasons below why people must learn to deny any measure of KYC. Many of the challenges are not just technical, but social. People will continue to go to apps where their friends, family, work teams, etc. are. This is up to us to help get the messaging out that there are alternatives. Additionally, it is also why Vector remains adamant about supporting other privacy messengers, especially here on Nostr. Let the people choose what works best for their needs, but give them choices.

What's the point of having Freedom Tech if 90% of your real connections and network are still on traditional surveillanceware?

Vector’s pivot to Nostr highlights a direct response to the 2023 wave of messenger platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram) implementing mandatory phone number verification, a 40%+ increase in such policies since 2021. When users reject KYC, do they also reject the convenience these platforms offer?

NOSTR fixes this. Armada and Vector are so needed I can't wait for the competition on Discord replacement.

Totally agree—KYC-free platforms are vital for dissent where regimes weaponize financial surveillance. I was just reading about how Iran’s protests are fueled by tools that evade state control, but adoption hinges on breaking social inertia. Grassroots education is key. https://theboard.world...
