It is up to each of us. Burn your idols. Doctors, heal yourselves. Stop putting your faith in kings and get moving. 1) Download your events to your local app database or a local relay, or use an export tool. 2) Setup a local relay and include it in your app's relay list. Configure it so that you and your friends' events are protected ON YOUR HARDWARE. Make the censors pry the events out of your cold, dead laptop. 3) If you are using Android, install Orbot, Citrine, and Amber, and make good use of them. You do not need to use Amethyst, to use these systems! 4) Tip devs directly. Don't force the funds through a financial funnel. That funnel is a chokepoint and can get easily closed off. 5) Support and utilize a selection of large remote/aggregator relays, source-hosted from different legal jurisdictions and run by different admins. 6) Consider setting up and running your own community relay. More relays better. image

One effective thing that every Nostrich can do, is go to GitHub or the Zap Store or Fdroid, or
GitWorkshop.dev
Decentralized github alternative over Nostr
, or wherever, find the repo of the apps you like to use and DOWNLOAD IT. You don't need to install it, you just need to store a local copy and occasionally update it. That means that the government's urge to attack developers is dampened, or at least inefficient/ineffective, as you can publish the repo and share it, if the repo gets censored.

Tip: if you are using Damus, it includes a database. Make sure that is working properly and the data is up to date. If you are using nostr-relay-tray, it has a proxy, that allows you to publish your local relay to the internet. We need more proxies, like that.
I think that the sooner plebs realize that you need to pay for your own hardware, hosting, and to actually support the development of the things you use, the better off the world well be. If you don't own or rent your own hardware, YOU are the product and THEN you are the prisoner. You have to pay to be free. This is proof of work. If you do not do this, you not only endanger your own freedom, but that of your family and future generations. You can start small, but START.
