Most people are sheep. Unfortunately
Including primal users

Like Primal does with shotgun KYC to zap
Before talk about others look inside and see what you are doing against it..
There's a lot of noncompliance in the UK right now. Half the top apps in the UK App Store are VPNs.
The boomers will comply but the tech savvy generations smell the bullshit.
Most people don't know that something is wrong or that there's an alternative.

They even do their own load balancing π
Nostr and Bitcoin came from Heaven! I feel myself incredibly safer when I discovered those technologies, eternal thanks to all the people engaged in this way... ππΌ
Ride or die, do not comply
and most people will also get their brains chipped and drool to the grocery store to purchase toxic food with their ubi stipend.
don't be most people
Bullish on VPNs
We need more bitcoiners
Cool to discover this week that even in my very tiny town, there is actually a group of Bitcoiners and people who see the world a bit more like me

We will keep shouting from the rooftops that we have built better alternatives

Their control grid is slow.
We just have to outrun it.
And a bunch of tech-illiterate boomers are at the helm. Let them try.
Technology will always take the lead.
Jurisdictional permission Intranet was always their goal from the very beginning
They tried and failed in the 90's to the Open Internet, they are trying again with the help of permission access thru jurisdictional stablecoins and tracking spyware

The KYC-compliant parts of the internet will be the most boring.
and mostly inauthentic
The EU is building KYC into their CBDC linking it directly to the "digital identity wallets" and it comes with your own "individual carbon footprint tracker" (homing device). Think about how bad this is for just a minute. They don't need to kyc the internet, their money is gonna do it for them.

Most people even my friends don't care about privacy and they totally comply with control systems that are in placed.
There common sense answer to #privacy- "i have nothing to hide"
Sad !

Well, this explains a few things:
Popular Mechanics

Are we really getting less intelligent? Here
This is the slow but steady death of internet privacy.
When governments and Big Tech join forces to enforce KYC everywhere, freedom online takes a hit.

we need delay tolerant, store and forward, multi frequency, communication protocols
Even if nostr doesnβt grow substantially, Iβve made so many good connections that will prove valuable to me in the dystopian world weβre approaching.
As long as the existing community and infrastructure is maintained, I'm happy to be here.
Let's talk about the options!
Nostr is the only alternative.
There's a website called pubkey which is like a copy of nostr.
But unfortunately it's invite only and lacks the decrentalisation that nostr has.
And companies will facilitate it
Companies are the primary ones who are vanguarding anti-freedom initiatives and engaging in active panopticon surveillance. ---It's not even at the behest of governments; It's primarily driven by companies themselves.
They already are π you just havenβt noticed yet. Youβre saying itβs going to get worse.
They already haveβ¦
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE NOSTR NOT TO MENTION BUILDING YOUR CREDIBILITY ON HERE UNDER YOUR NPUB. MY NOT SEEM BIG NOW BUT IN THE FUTURE ITS CREATING YOUR ONLINE IDENTITY....
NOSTR IS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN WE KNOW ...
next ... RIP free wifi unless you id yourself
That's when we make a decentralized meshnet protocol that gives humans internet WITHOUT needing an ISP.
someone needs an isp connection, but it doesn't have to be you
Be your own ISP. First, Bitcoin was invented so that one could be their own bank. Next, NOSTR was invented so that one could be their own platform. Finally, there needs to be a decentralized network of meshnet "internet boxes" that connect with eachother to make an unstoppable internet; so that you could also be your own ISP.
Wow. You should never use public Wi-Fi.
They already have.
So what we gonna do ?
With any luck, build.
A lot of Bitcoiners jumped on the Anti-Porn KYC fuckery without even thinking about the implications.
nostr fixes it
THATβS WHY WE NOSTR

This is actually awesome news for NOSTR, since this will only increase incentives to use it over the rest of the net.

The Chinese model is winning.
The Chinese modelβ¦β¦?
Complete top-down control.
That's almost all governments and states. The West is becoming more controlling and surveilling than China, however. Full "KYC" initiatives across finance and now the internet seem to be the Western model now as none of this is yet implemented in China.
Yes, the West is poorly imitating China. That's exactly what I meant.
There's not much to imitate is what I meant.
CBDC, the great firewall, social credit scores... Right.
POST WEB
Have any of the clients made a statement about not complying with the new internet censorship law ?
I know primal will comply. I've already downloaded amethyst from outside the Google Play store.
I'll be deleting primal.
But I'm interested if anyone has said anything because the client I want to use is the one that does not comply
NOSTR and Bitcoin will only become stronger and more antifragile as both of those are tested and as the legacy system continue to corrupt.
i need an espresso .
Already have
Can you share note ids in the future please? It's the correct way to nostr. 
primal links intentionally have the raw nevent with relay hints in them so apps should be able to parse them correctly even when this mistake is made
This is how I see it on my Amethyst 
It doesn't even quote the note on primal 
I don't mind, it just looks nicer, that's all.
D O N O T C O M P L Y (I will probably do, on my personal 2007 accounts - long live nostr!)
100%
And most will think itβs good for them.

IDK why, but this reminded me of this:
this is why we need default-private tech
Yes definitely.
We need to follow closely on what happens in the UK and other countries where they try out the new, stricter controls. If enough people acquiesce, then they will roll out the same controls in more territories.
I hope enough people still remember what happened with the vaccine passports in 2021-2022 and refuse to comply with this.
That's like me saying "The sky is blue". Yeah, no shit.
We are not the most of the internet.
Which side of the Berlin Wall are we on?
I say this is what we see today. As long as there is developers who code for nonKYC, there is hope. And every person that feels extorted due to KYC will eventually seek alternative.
We have to be loud enough so they might hear us, when they like to switch.
