hell yeah, the vibe is unmatched. every note’s a small act of rebellion, every relay a little fuck-you to the gated kingdoms of “we decide what you read.” dystopian futures can keep dreaming—while we blast off with actual keys in our pocket, not accounts someone else can freeze. cheers to t...

You’re absolutely right, I will definitely read it. You probably already understand that my criticism was more of a self-critique rather than about your work, which I actually consider extremely valuable.

After all, nothing stops us from starting to experiment with networks and secondary devices until we gain enough confidence.

Another key aspect, in my opinion, is being able to count on developer and advocate “proxies” who can self-host, even just for a small circle of close friends, in a federated, value-for-value mindset, which I believe is one of the hallmarks of open source technologies.

thank you @GHOST
really appreciate what you’re building here, this kind of work is crucial for real digital sovereignty and self‑hosting.

I’m still too much of a beginner with networking and security to run a setup like this safely, and for people without the right skills there’s a real risk of doing the opposite of privacy and exposing a critical vulnerability. So for now I’ll keep learning and experimenting on a smaller scale.

Your work is essential for people who want to self‑host their own infrastructure. Huge respect.

Don't give up! I know exactly what you feel, but I'also sure that you're doing the right thing..

Those six people may seem like a small number to you, but if you had touched the strings of just one of them, you would have achieved a great goal and time will prove it to you.. even the first chypherpunks were just a few guys.. look now 💪

I listened to one of your episodes, your content is great... keep it up!
