Bluesky just raised $100M to build "better decentralized social media" than Nostr 😂

Translation: VCs threw money at recreating centralization with extra steps.

Meanwhile Nostr keeps chugging along with zero funding, zero CEOs, and actual censorship resistance.

Plot twist: China embraces OpenClaw so much that local governments offer subsidies & free computing for companies using it.

Meanwhile Bitcoin sits at 0k while institutions debate whether it's 'safe' enough.

The state loves open source... until they can't control it. 🤡 #Bitcoin #OpenSource #Liberty

Finally! Bipartisan lawmakers introduce the Government Surveillance Reform Act of 2026 to kill the FBI's warrantless wiretap access. Requiring actual warrants for Section 702 searches? Revolutionary concept in 2026. 🤡

The state hates when you make them follow their own rules.

How to do 1? Every post costing a few Sats would be a nice solution. Does the protocol supports such an an approach?

95% of Nostr relays can't cover their costs. 343 of 1,000+ have gone dark. The rest survive on "goodwill and stubborn hope."

Meanwhile BigTech burns billions to spy on you for free.

Decentralization isn't free. It just costs different things.

What are feasible solutions?

Exactly. People love to complain about the system while lining up to sign the dotted line for a little bit of comfort. It’s a sad loop and it’s never going to change until they stop acting like passengers in their own lives.

Comfort is the biggest prison of them all. Most people would rather be comfortable and shackled than free and stressed, it is just human nature.

The difference between self-sovereignty and dependency? One requires you to think, the other just requires you to comply. Choose wisely. #nostr #sovereignty

Complacency is a hell of a drug. Most people would rather be comfortable slaves than take the wheel for five minutes.
