What a retarded argument. Have fun running pipes through permafrost. Rural Russians prefer their independence and are tough fuckers who don't mind going outside into a wooden shitter.

They'll likely not be able to react to spam attacks as nostr grows and attracts more malicious actors, for one.

UpScrolled is barebones. Their suggestion algorithm is as good as Bluesky's. Pushes you into a box from the start. Topics pushed are the current thing.

People will keep on repeating that loop until they learn. Nostr should be improved, lots of rough edges, clients behaving differently, all good. But I'd prefer nostr to grow slowly and adapt to whatever challenges that brings without diluting censorship resistance, v4v, decentralization and zaps.

UpScrolled being pushed like this by the typical media outlets by reporting on its definitely not suspicious rise should tell you all you need to know about it.

Ex-IBM, Ex-Oracle, "Community Guidelines", servers hosted in EU where they have to abide by DSA.

We know nothing about their tech stack, who works for them. Founders were all in on the COVID scam and one is at least triple boosted.

It's just another group of well connected and investor backed tech people starting their centralized new social network right in time to leverage the intake of new users after a previous one got too censored. Once the "muh antisemitism" goes rampant, they'll buckle to the EU. This looks just as engineered as the Twitter to BluSky pipeline.

Nostr or bust.
