существование есть шумителной путешествие к смерти//бессмертию image
Five years ago, Bitcoin maximalists attacked me for working around Web3, dismissing it as pointless "noise". Now I'm watching the exact same pattern play out in reverse - similar maximalist thinking, just defending different noise. Ironic 🤦‍♂
Agnostic Nostr Initiative (idea) Mission: Break Nostr out of marginalization by building tools normal people actually need, with zero ideology required. Make Nostr the sufficient alternative to centralized platforms people already use. Core Principles * Utility Over Ideology - Build what people need. Twitter alternative, yes. But also Git forges, event platforms, newsletters, music tracking - anything where centralization is the problem. * Zero Barriers - Custodial onboarding. One-click signup. Abstract everything. Make it feel exactly like signing up for any other app. Users shouldn't need documentation to start. * Normie-First - If non-technical people won't use it, we've failed. No relay management, no key backup anxiety visible to end users. * No Purity Tests - We don't care about protocol purity or ideological alignment. We care about tools that work for everyone. Core: Social Communication Dead-simple X/Bluesky/ActivityPub alternative with great UX: * Features normies expect (quote posts, bookmarks, easy media, working search) * Algorithms that surface interesting content (yes, algorithms) Essential Alternatives * Git forge (GitHub/Tangled alternative) * Event coordination (Meetup.com alternative) * Music tracking/social (Last.fm alternative) * Long-form blogging (Medium alternative) * Newsletter platform (Substack alternative) ....
If you're blindly building another Nostr app for this echo chamber without recognizing common cause, you're doing exactly what the government wants.
Bitcoin maximalists made this error with web3 - accepting the government's narrative that everything is a scam (they just exclude Bitcoin for themselves). Now they're repeating it with Nostr, choosing purity and isolation over recognizing common cause. Every time we adopt the framing that only our specific tool matters while dismissing others as corrupted, we do the state's containment work for free. We fragment resistance into competing tribes while institutional power stays unified. View quoted note →
If I'm a government facing Nostr, I don't need to ban it - I just keep it small and marginalized. Let it become an echo chamber where a few thousand users build projects for themselves. Association with extremism, complexity narratives, and developer infighting do the work for me. Same strategy worked perfectly with crypto: let the public think it's just "speculation" and "investment" rather than a parallel financial system. As long as normies see it as gambling for tech bros, they never examine the actual threat it poses. Marginalization is more effective than prohibition. You don't make martyrs, you don't trigger Streisand effects - you just ensure revolutionary technology stays in a sandbox while you control the infrastructure that actually matters.
