Yes 💯. Big believer in pick your (benevolent) dictator. We are social animals. We live in societies. That means we have to give away some of our freedom to meet our fellow humans in the middle (it’s also simply too much work, too much mental load to have to be in control of everything).

But we should always be able to retreat to our own space where we should have full privacy and anonymity, and we should always be able to vote with our feet and pick another tennis court that follows different governing rules.

Societal contracts imply trust in authority.

There's a concept I subscribe to which is Similicity at the far side of complexity. Yes, it's mental load to handle this, but when you handle it, there's simpllicity at the other side of it, which gives you even more freedom (including peace of mind).

Centralized storage raises security concerns. nostr:note1e2l07vnzyan6zcuh0vza3cqq373ynvjeneamjlm0u9se5pqgk9cqsq60kc

Always. That’s why it has to be done at the smallest possible level. Today it’s at the global level (with current tech platforms). I’d argue we ought to decentralize that to the community level.

I’m all for sovereign individuals, but the reality is that the vast majority will be under sovereign communities.

I would go even further. There is no "governance model" that is generic. A community might agree on when you should not make loud noises, but they should not govern what you smoke on your balcony. Meaning this - you can be sovereign individual in what your money for saving is. Your business, comuni...

I’d love to see a digital belfry, a place where any community could safely store all its data and that would provide all the services for collective sovereignty:

- a nostr relay for messaging
- a blossom server for files/media
- a collective bunker to store everyone’s private keys
- an email server
- a shared drive
- a shared calendar
- a common ledger
- …

What else?

A belfry is a symbol of the sovereign collective:

“Where a cathedral spire represented the Church and a castle keep represented the lord, the belfry represented the commune — the self-governing town. Building one was an act of civic emancipation, an architectural declaration of independence from feudal and ecclesiastical authority. The bells rang on the town’s own schedule, the archives proved the town’s own rights, and the silhouette on the skyline said: we govern ourselves here.”

Fancy! Did it work well with addressables and expiration?

The main point was the cli, not the storage. So I just treat all types the same way. It gives you a local backup of all your notes in jsonl format and a way to sync with different relays.
